Mowing Patterns - Honda HARMONY H2013SDA Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Mowing Patterns
Your Honda lawn tractor will work most efficiently if you use the
following mowing patterns as much as possible. Mower deck and
equipment design, and the direction in which the blade rotates, cause
these mowing patterns to give the best results.
MULCHING (OPTIONAL KIT)
Use a counterclockwise mowing pattern. If the lawn has an irregular
shape, or many obstacles, divide it into sections where you can use
counterclockwise mowing patterns.
BAGGING (OPTIONAL KIT)
Use a clockwise mowing pattern. This will give the best bagging
performance, leaving the least amount of clippings on the lawn.
SIDE-DISCHARGE MOWING
Start mowing at the outer edges of the lawn, and work toward the
center in a circular pattern, always discharging clippings to the
outside. This will prevent clippings from piling up in the path of the
lawn tractor.
