MOWING
TIPS
* Mower
should
be properly
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 already
been cut.
Have the cut area to the right of the trac-
tor. This will result in a more even distri-
bution
of clippings
and more uniform
cutting.
* When
mowing
large areas, start
by
turning
to the right so that clippings
will
discharge
away from shrubs,
fences,
drb/eways,
etc.
After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite
direction
making
left hand turns until finished.

* If grass is extremely
tall, it should
be
mowed
twice to reduce
load and pos-
sible fire hazard
from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively
high; the second
to the desired
height.
* Do not mow grass when
it is wet.
Wet
grass will plug mower
and leave undesir-
able clumps.
Allow
grass to dry before
mowing.
*
Always
operate
engine
at full throttle
when
mowing
to assure
better
mow-
ing performance
and proper
discharge
of material.
Regulate
ground
speed
by
selecting
a low enough
gear to give the
mower cutting
performance
as we[[ as
the quality
of cut desired.
* When
operating
attachments,
select
a
ground
speed
that will suit the terrain
and give best performance
of the at-
tachment
being used.
