MOWING TIPS

See fig. 19
■ Keep the mower blades sharp.
■ Make sure that the lawn is clear of stones,
sticks, wires, toys, tree nuts, tree branches,
and other objects that could damage the
mower blades or motor. Do not mow over
property stakes or other metal posts. Such
objects could damage the blade or be
accidentally thrown by the product in any
direction and cause serious personal injury
to the operator and others.
■ For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third
or less of the total length of the grass.
■ When mowing large areas, start by turning
to the right so that clippings discharge
away from shrubs, fences, and driveways.
After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction, making left hand turns
until finished.
■ Mow so that discharged clippings exit in the
direction of the lawn area that has already
been cut.
■ When cutting heavy grass, reduce speed
for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. Wet grass sticks
to the underside of the deck and prevent
proper mulching of grass clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower
cut or a higher cutting height.
■ Keep the mower deck and side discharge
chute clean. Remove grass clippings,
leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated
debris before and after each use. Do not
spray the product with a garden hose to
clean.
