MOWING TIPS

CAUTION:
attachments on your mower. Such attachments
are hazardous, will damage your mower and could
void your warranty.
• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it
may be nec es sary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine
and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be
necessary to re duce ground speed and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a sec ond time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, re duce the width of cut
by over lap ping previously cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,
the engine speed should be set in the FAST po si tion.
• When using a rear discharge lawn mower in moist,
heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may not enter the
grass catcher. Reduce ground speed (pushing speed)
and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second
time.
• If a trail of clippings is left on the right side of a rear
discharge mow er, mow in a clockwise direction with a
small overlap to collect the clippings on the next pass.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with
dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect less
grass. To prevent this, reg u lar ly hose catcher off with
water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of
grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air flow
and extend engine life.
