Loading Machines Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to or complete grass catcher assembly mounted extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of in place, you and others are exposed to blade individual ramps for each side of the unit (Figure 28).
Mowing Direction Alternate mowing direction to keep the grass standing straight. This also helps disperse clippings which enhances decomposition and fertilization. Mow at Correct Intervals Normally, mow every four days. But remember, grass grows at different rates at different times. So to maintain the same cutting height, which is a good practice, mow more often in early spring.
