MOWING
▲ WARNING
To avoid possible injury, do not allow anyone
in the area opposite the discharge chute while
mowing. Although the area has been sup¬
posedly cleared of foreign objects, small
objects may have been overlooked and may
be discharged by the mower.
WARNING
Never direct discharge of material toward by¬
standers nor allow anyone near the machine
while in operation.
For best results it is recommended that the first two
laps should be cut with the discharge thrown towards
the center. After the first two laps, reverse the direction
to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of
cutting. This will give a better appearance to the lawn.
Do not cut the grass too short, as the mower will tend to
scalp the grass. Short grass invites weed growth and
yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should be done with the engine at full throttle.
Do not mow at high ground speed.
During certain times of the year and under some condi¬
tions, the mower may leave streaks of uncut material.
Streaking may occur when attempting to mow heavy
weeds and tall grass. Under these conditions it may be
necessary to go back over the cut area a second time
to get a clean cut.
The following practices will help eliminate streaking:
1.
Mow the area more often so the grass doesn't get
too tall and heavy.
2.
Operate the tractor at full throttle and lower for¬
ward speeds.
3.
Keep the blades sharp and replace blades when
worn.
4.
Follow the mowing procedure shown in Figure
47.
