• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave undesir-
able clumps. Allow grass to dry before
mowing.
• Regulate ground speed by selecting 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 wilt suit the terrain and
give best performance of the attachment
being used.

MOWING TIPS
• Mowershould be properly leveledfor 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 thatclippings are discharged onto
the area that has already been cut. Have
the cutareato the right of the riding mower.
This will result in a more even distribution
of clippings and more uniform cutting.
f
• When mowing large areas, start byturning
to the right so that clippings wilt discharge
away from shrubs, fences, driveways,
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 possible
fire hazard from dried clippings, Make
first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.
