•
Cut the grass more frequently.
•
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath
with each pass.
•
Set the cutting height on the front wheels one notch
lower than the rear wheels. For example, set the front
wheels at 2-1/4 inches (57 mm) and the rear wheels at
2-3/4 inches (70 mm).
Cutting Leaves
•
After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn shows
through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more
than one pass over the leaves.
•
For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same
cutting height setting.
•
If there are more than 5 inches (12.7 cm) of leaves on the
lawn, set the front cutting height 1 or 2 notches higher
than the rear cutting height. This makes it easier to feed
the leaves under the machine housing.
•
Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not
cut the leaves finely enough.
