MOWING TiPS
°
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing
is attached to tractor,
*
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 trim-
ming,
,
Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut, Have the cut area to the right of
the tractor, This wiii result in a more even distribution
of clippings and more uniform cutting,
*
When mowing large areas, start by turning tothe right so
that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc, After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction making left hand turns until finished
(See Fig, 12),

*
if grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-
pings, 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 undesirable clumps, Allow grass to
dry before mowing,
*
Always operate engine at fuji throttle
when mow-
ing to assure better mowing performance and proper
discharge of material,
Regulate ground speed by se°
lecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
performance as well as the quality of cut desired,
,
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit the terrain and give best performance of
the attachment being used,
