ADJUSTING THE SKIDS (Fig. 4)
1.
Adjust the skids by removing the flange nuts, positioning the
skids at the desired position and reinstalling the flange nuts.
GREASE THE CUTTING UNIT
Before the cutting unit is operated, it must be greased: refer to
Lubrication. Failure to properly grease the cutting unit will result in
premature failure of critical parts.
Operating Instructions
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 sensitive, freshly mowed grass.
2.
SELECT THE PROPER HEIGHT-OF-CUT SETTING TO
SUIT CONDITIONS—Remove approximately one inch or no
1
more than
⁄
of the grass blade when cutting. In exceptionally
3
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, allowing air to be drawn into the hous-
ing. When making an initial cut through 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. But 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; as the grass growth rate slows
in mid summer, cut only every 8-10 days. If you are unable to
mow for an extended period due to weather conditions or other
