Operating Instructions
3.
Install the lynch pin to secure the assembly .
4.
Assure all four castor wheels are set at same height-of-cut.
ADJUSTING SKIDS (Fig. 4)
1.
Adjust skids by loosening flange nuts, positioning as desired
and re-tightening the flange nuts.
OPERATING TIPS
1.
MOW WHEN GRASS IS DRY—Mow either in the late morn-
ing to avoid the dew, which causes grass clumping, or in late
afternoon to avoid the damage that can be caused by direct
sunlight on the sensitive, freshly mowed grass.
2.
SELECT THE PROPER HEIGHT-OF-CUT SETTING TO
SUIT CONDITIONS—Remove approximately one inch or no
more than 1/3 of the grass blade when cutting. In exceptional-
ly lush and dense grass, you may have to raise your height-of-
cut setting another notch.
3.
MOWING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS—Air is required to
cut and recut grass clippings in the mower housing, so do not
set the height-of-cut too low or totally surround the housing by
uncut grass. Always try to have one side of the mower housing
free from uncut grass, thus allowing air to be drawn into hous-
ing. When making an initial cut through the center of an uncut
area, operate the machine slower and back up if the mower
starts to clog.
4.
MOW AT PROPER INTERVALS—Under most normal condi-
tions you'll need to mow every 4–5 days. Remember, grass
grows at different rates at different times. To maintain the
same height-of-cut—which is a good practice—you'll need to
cut more frequently in early spring. When the grass growth
rate slows in mid summer, cut only every 8–10 days. If you
are unable to mow for an extended period, mow first with the
height-of-cut at a high level; then mow again 2–3 days later
with a lower height setting.
5.
ALWAYS MOW WITH SHARP BLADES—A sharp blade
cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass.
Tearing and shredding causes the grass to turn brown at the
