Mowing And Bagging Tips; Mulching Tips - Simplicity Coronet Mode D'emploi

Operation
Operate on Hills
WARNING
Do not ride up or down slopes that are too
steep to back straight up. Never ride the unit
across a slope.
1. Before you ride up or down a hill, move the speed
control pedal lever to the slowest speed.
2. Do not stop or change speed settings on a hill. If
you must stop, quickly push the clutch/brake pedal
forward and set the parking brake.
3. To start again, make sure the speed control is in the
slowest speed.
a. Move the throttle control to the SLOW position.
b. Slowly engage the speed control pedal.
4. If you must stop or start on a hill, always have
enough space for the unit to roll when you release
the brake and engage the clutch.
5. Be very careful when you change directions on a
hill. When on a slope or in a turn on a hill, move the
throttle control to the SLOW position to help
prevent an accident.

Mowing and Bagging Tips

1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of
the mower deck. See authorized dealer.
2. For the mower deck to cut level, make sure the tires
have the correct amount of air pressure.
3. Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the
blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the
blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.
4. Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will
cause the ends of the grass to turn brown.
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will
not discharge correctly. Let the grass dry
before cutting.
6. Use the left side of the mower deck to trim near
an object.
7. Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area. The
result is a more even discharge of cut grass.
8. When you mow large areas, start by turning to the
right so that the cut grass will discharge away from
shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two
rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left
turns until finished.

9. If the grass is very high, cut two times to decrease
the load on the engine. First cut with the mower
deck in the highest position and then lower the
mower deck for the second cut.
10. For better engine performance and an even
discharge of the cut grass, always operate the
engine with the throttle in FAST position.
11. When you use a bagger, operate the engine with
the throttle in FAST position and the speed control
pedal at a slow ground speed.
12. For better cutting performance and a quality cut,
mow with the speed control pedal in one of the
slower speeds.
13. After each use, clean the bottom and top of the
mower deck for better performance. Also, a clean
mower deck will help prevent a fire.

Mulching Tips

When you use a mulcher attachment, the grass is cut
into very small pieces. These small pieces will quickly
break down. Because the nutrients are returned to the
soil, the lawn will need less fertilizer. To correctly mulch
the grass, follow the steps below.
1. Set the throttle in the FAST position. Operate the
mower at a slower ground speed. If ground speed
is too fast, the grass will not have an even cut.
2. Keep a sharp edge on the blade. A blade that is not
sharp will cause the ends of the grass to
become brown.
3. Make sure the grass is dry. Wet grass is difficult
to cut.
4. Set the height of the mower deck so that only the
top third of the grass is cut. If the grass is too high,
set the height of the mower deck to the maximum
height. Then, lower the mower deck for the second
cut. Also, instead of using the full width of the
mower deck, mulch at half the width.
5. Clean the bottom of the mower deck. Grass and
other debris can keep the mower from
working correctly.
6. If the grass grows fast, mulch more often.
7. If an area needs improvement, mulch a
second time.
