OPERATION
MOWING TIPS
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage
the lawn mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in
any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
■ For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass.
■ When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a
proper discharge of the clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper mulching
of grass clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
■ Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves,
dirt, and any other accumulated debris.
