Mowing Tips
• Observe and flag rocks and other fixed
objects to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and
reduce it until the desired mowing result
is attained.
The average lawn should be cut to 2½"
(64 mm) during the cool season and over
3" (76 mm) during the hot months. For
healthier and better looking lawns, mow
often after moderate growth.
For best cutting performance, grass over
6" (15 cm) in height should be mowed
twice. Make the first cut relatively high;
the second to the desired height.
• The mowing result will be best with a
high engine speed (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low speed (the rider moves
slowly). If the grass is not too long and
dense, the driving speed can be
increased without negatively affecting
the mowing result.
• The finest lawns are obtained by mowing
often. The lawn becomes more even and
the grass clippings more evenly
distributed over the mown area. The total
time taken is not increased as a higher
operating speed can be used without
poor mowing results.
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing
result is poorer because the wheels sink
into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the
grass clippings fasten under the cowling.
• Hose the mower deck underside with
water after each use. When cleaning, the
mower deck shall be raised into the
transport position. Make sure the mower
is cooled and the engine is off.
• Use compressed air to clean top surface
of the deck. Avoid flooding water on top
surface.
• When the mulching kit is used, it is
important that the mowing interval is
frequent.
WARNING!
Clear the area of objects such
as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,
which could be picked up and
thrown out by the blades.
