gives the best results.

grass is being scalped.

up loose leaves and
other loose material.
Use the brush to dis-
lodge any compacted
or matted material.
e. Do not unhook a load-
ed machine to prevent
upending.
f.
Watch the flow of mate-
rial past the windows
on the pick-up to de-
termine the best travel
speed. Material should
always be moving past
the windows. When it
stops moving, the com-
partment is full or the
machine is plugging.
