Page 43
DO NOT: 1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then turn slowly up put hill and use extra care when turning. 2. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in. 3.
Page 44
To check the slope, proceed as follows: 1. Remove this page and fold along the dashed line. 2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g., a pole, building, fence, tree, etc.) 3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 4.
Page 45
6. The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is approximately 2.5 – 3.0 inches (6-7 cm). With one cut, you do not need to remove more than a third of the total height. If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four-hour period. The first time with the blades at maximum height, possibly reducing the cutting width, and the second cut at the desired height.
