Operating Tips

•
When mowing tall and thick weeds or grass,
operate the machine at a slower walking speed.
•
Frequently remove grass buildup under the mower;
refer to Removing Debris from the Machine (page
19).
•
For best results and increased line life, mow using
the ends of the line by moving slowly through thick
or heavy weeds.
•
Shorter mower lines increase job time. Replace
the mower lines when they are worn to less than
half their original length.
•
Mower head contact with concrete, asphalt, and
harder surfaces may cause premature wear to the
height guide and lines.
