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 one pass over the leaves.
•
If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves
on the lawn, set the front cutting height one or
two notches higher than the rear cutting height.
•
Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does
not cut the leaves finely enough.
Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the mower by standing in the operating position.
