◾
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired
mowing result is attained. Grass over 6 inches long should be
mowed twice, at successively lower cutting heights.
◾
To maintain a healthy lawn, cut off only one-third or less of
the total length of the grass (Fig. 24). The average lawn should
be approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches long during cool months,
and between 2 to 3-1/4 inches long during hot months. For
healthier and better-looking lawns, mow more often after
moderate growth.
◾
Do not cut wet grass. Mowing on wet surfaces can cause loss
of control and the wheels to sink into the soft lawn. Wet grass
will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of the 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. See section "CLEANING THE MACHINE" in this manual.
◾
When the mulching plug is used, it is important to mow frequently.
SLOPE OPERATION (Fig. 25)
See section "SLOPE SPECIFIC" in this manual for safety instructions before slope operation.
WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to tip-over and roll-over accidents that can result in severe injury or
death. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not
attempt to mow steep slopes greater than 15 degrees. Make a copy or cut out the slope guide image (Fig. 25) and use to
determine if your slope is too steep for safe operation.
