Turn clockwise (right turn) when beginning to
mow large, open areas. This discharges
clippings away from borderline objects
(sidewalks, driveways, fences, etc.). After
making a clockwise pass, mow in a
counterclockwise (left turn) direction. This
discharges clippings evenly over cut grass.
Continuous clockwise mowing will cause a build
up of clippings, preventing a uniform cut.
•
Proper adjustment of anti-scalp wheels is
important for obtaining smoothest appearing cut
especially over uneven terrain. Refer to
Adjustments Section for recommended positions.
•
Slow down when making turns. Short, fast turns
can cause scuffing (outside front tire slides and
pulls out grass), step type cutting or some grass
may not be cut.

When mowing, regulate forward travel speed with

throttle. This maintains proper blade speed and
air flow to facilitate discharging of clippings.
Mowing with a lower throttle setting causes blade
to tear grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance.

A good fertilization program and frequent
watering will help keep your lawn weed free and
green all year long. Due to variations in climate,
soil and grass varieties, contact your local garden
supply dealer, park or golf course superintendent,
or county agent to obtain specific information
pertaining to your area.
NOTE: Be sure to clean mower pan after each use.
Do not allow grass clumps or a coating of grass and
debris to collect inside of mower pan. Avoid
operation over bare ground intermittent with grass
cutting as this causes dirt and grass to collect and
cake under pan surface.
