from the normal operating position.
Operating Tips
Blade Selection
Standard Combination Sail
This blade was designed to provide excellent lift and
dispersion in almost any condition. If more or less lift and
discharge velocity is required, a different blade may be
considered.
Attributes:
• Excellent lift and dispersion in most conditions.
Atomic Blade
This blade was designed to provide excellent leaf mulching.
Attributes:
• Excellent leaf mulching
Mow When 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 cutting chambers are in good condition.
Straighten any bends in chamber components to assure
correct blade tip/chamber clearance.
After Operating
To ensure optimum performance, clean underside of mower
housing. If residue is allowed to build up in mower
housing, cutting performance will decrease.
