mower housing is attached to tractor.
• Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowtng performance. See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section of thts
manual,
• The left hand stde of mower should be
used for trimming.
• Drwe so that chpp_ngs are discharged
onto the area that has already been
cut, Have the cut area to the right of
the tractor. This will result in a more
even distribution of clippings and more
uniform cutttng,
• When mowing large areas, start by
turning to the right so that clippings wi!t
discharge away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc. After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite dtrection making
left hand turns until finished.
,i
• tf grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and pos-
sible fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet,
Wet grass wtll plug mower and leave
undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry
before mowing.
• Always operate engine at full throttle
when mowing to ensure better mow_ng
performance and proper discharge of
matenal. Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough speed to give
the mower cutting performance as well
as the quality of cut desired.
• When operating attachments, select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance of the at-
tachment being used.
