GENERAL MOWING TIPS
When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a
▪
proper discharge of the clippings. It is recommended that you cut longer grass in stages.
Start at a higher cutting height and go over the same area a second time with a lower
cutting height.
Do not cut wet grass; it will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper
▪
collection or discharge of grass clippings.
New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height.
▪
Empty the grass box regularly, the discharge chute will become blocked with grass
▪
cuttings.
The mower is designed to operate and cut most effectively when moving forwards.
▪
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
▪
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
▪
Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
▪
Allow the machine to cool before storing.
▪
Grass Collector components are subject to wear, damage, & deterioration, which could
▪
expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check & replace them with
the manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary.
Mower blades are sharp and can be dangerous. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and
▪
use extra caution when servicing them.
