Operating Tips

Mow when the Grass is Dry
Mow either in the late morning 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.
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 exceptionally lush and
dense grass you may have to raise your height–of–cut setting
another notch.
Always Start Mowing with Sharp Blades
A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding
the grass blades like a dull blade. Tearing and shredding
causes the grass to turn brown at the edges which impairs
growth and increases susceptibility to diseases. Make sure
blade is in good condition and a full sail is present.
Check Condition of Deck
Make sure that the cutting chambers are in good condition.
Straighten any bends in the chamber components to ensure
the correct blade tip/chamber clearance.
After Operating
To ensure optimum performance, clean the underside of
mower housing. If you allow residue to build up in mower
housing, cutting performance will decrease.
