The cutting

These heights
are approximate
and may vary
depending
upon
soil condi-
tions,
height
of grass
and
types
of grass
being
mowed.
The
average
lawn
should
be cut to ap-
proximately
2-1/2
inches
during
the cool
season
and to over
3 inches
during
hot
months.
For healthier
and better
looking
lawns,
mow
often
and
after
moderate
growth.
For best cutting
performance,
grass
over
6 inches in height should
be mowed
twice.
Make the first cut relatively
high; the sec-
ond to desired
