TIPS ON MOWING
FOR BEST RESULTS, USE THE FOLLOWING TIPS
WHEN MOWING:
When mowing, cut only 113 off of grass height.
Cutting grass deeper could be harmful to your
lawn.
If cutting extremely tall grass, make one cutting
with the deck in its highest cutting position, then
lower the deck to desired position and make a
second cut.
Mow when lawn is dry for best cutting.
Mow often. Shorter grass clippings decompose
more quickly.
Keep mower blades sharp. A dull blade tears and
shreds grass instead of cutting. Refer to "MOWER
BLADE SERVICE" in the Maintenance Section.
Alternate the mowing pattern every other time to
reduce the possibility of grass matting.
Mow with engine speed control in FAST and
ground speed control handle in a SLOW position.
Clean deck, removing all grass clippings and debris
from the top and underside of deck after each use.
