MOWING TIPS
•
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing per-
for mance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
•
The left hand side of mower should be used for trim-
ming.
•
Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
machine. This will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting.
•
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so
that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences,
drive ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction making left hand turns until finished
(See Fig. 7).
•
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-
pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to
dry before mowing.
•
Always operate engine at full throttle when mow-
ing to assure better mowing performance and proper
dis charge of ma te ri al. Regulate ground speed by se-
lect ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
per for mance as well as the quality of cut desired.
•
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of
the attachment being used.
