guidelines to mowing width. Using the labels as guide-
lines, mow in strips. Overlap by one half to one third the
previous strip to mow the lawn evenly.

Periodically check the grass basket for mowed grass.
Empty the basket before it becomes full. Before every
periodic check, be sure to stop the machine.
NOTE: Using the mower with the grass basket full
prevents smooth mower blade rotation and places
an extra load on the motor, which may cause a
breakdown.
Mowing a long-grass lawn
Do not try to cut long grass all at once. Instead, mow
the lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between mowings
until the lawn becomes evenly short.
Fig.17
NOTE: Mowing long grass to a short length all at
once may cause the grass to die. The cut grass may
also block up inside of the mower body.
