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 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.
NOTE: Always stop the product, allow blades
to completely stop, and remove the start key
before cleaning underneath the product.

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments.
Drive slowly, and do not make sudden

Never attempt to stabilize the mower on a
slope by placing your foot on the ground
during operation.
Always use the brakes when travelling

operating on a slope, disengage the blades
