• Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector is installed.
• For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center.
After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This
will give a better appearance to the lawn.
• Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
• Mowing should always be done with the engine at full throttle.
• Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.
• Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow
lawns, NOT clear brush.
• Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. Refer to Cutting Blades on page 19 of this manual for
proper blade sharpening instructions.
Side-Discharge
To operate the cutting deck for side-discharge of grass
clippings only, remove the mulch plug by unthreading the
plastic wing nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This
will allow the clippings to discharge out the side. See
Figure 5.
