MOWING
TraPS
Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
o Mower should be prepedy leveled for
best mowing performance.
See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments
section of this
manual.
- The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
Drive so that clippings are discharged
onto the area that has been cut. Have
the cut area to the right of the machine.
This will result in a more even distribu_
tion of clippings and more uniform cut-
ting.
- When mowing large areas, start by turn-
ing to the right so that clippings will dis-
charge away from shrubs, fences, drive-
ways, etc. After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite direction making
taft hand turns until finished
* If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and possi-
ble fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high; the secon
to the desired height.
o Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave unde-
sirabie clumps.
Allow grass to dry
before mowing.
o Always operate engine at fuJ! throttl_
when mowing
to assure better mowin!
performance and proper discharge of
material. Regulate ground speed by s_
lecting a low enough gear to give the
mower the best cutting performance a_:
well as the quality of cut desired.
When operating attachments, select a
ground speed that wilJ suit the terrain
and give best performance of the at-
tachment being used.
