  • Page 15: Mowing Pattern & Tips

    GENERAL For the first use of the mower, choose a smooth level area. Cut long straight strips overlapping slightly. The size and type of area to be mowed determines the best mowing pattern to use. Obstructions such as trees, fences and buildings must also be considered. Where possible, make one or two passes in a counterclockwise direction around the outside of the area to keep the cut grass off fences and walks.
  • Page 16 Mowing Patterns & lips Change the mowing pattern each time. If mulching baffles are removed, the original deflector must be in operating position for safe side-discharge mowing. How Much Grass To Cut Off Removing too much grass height in one cutting may result in an unsatisfactory cut: wind rowing, clumping, or uneven dispersal of clippings may result.
