blade at a time. Do not cut below the 64 mm (2-1/2 inch)
setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when
grass growth begins to slow down.
•
When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall, first mow
at the highest cutting-height setting and walk slower; then
mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance.
If the grass is too long and the leaves clump on top of the
lawn, the machine may plug and cause the engine to stall.
•
Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the
clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try 1 or
more of the following:
•
Sharpen the blade.
•
Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
•
Raise the cutting height on your machine.
•
Cut the grass more frequently.
•
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath
with each pass.
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 a single pass over the leaves.
•
For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same
cutting height setting.
•
Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not
cut the leaves finely enough.
