Mowing Tips
•
Observe and mark rocks and other fixed objects
in order to avoid collisions.
•
Properly level the cutting deck for best mowing
performance. The blades should be parallel to the
ground or slightly tipped down in the front.
•
Use only sharp blades.
•
Check tire pressure. Different pressure can cause
uneven mowing results.
•
Use the left hand side of the deck for trimming.
•
mow so clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the
right of the mower. This will result in more even
distribution of clippings and a more uniform cut.
To avoid clippings spraying on roads etc, mow the
first two patterns in opposite direction.
•
begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until
the desired mowing result is attained.
•
Cut the average lawn to 2½" (64 mm) during the
cool season and to over 3" (76 mm) during the hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often after moderate growth.
•
For best cutting performance, grass over 15 cm
(6") in height should be mowed twice. make the
first cut relatively high; the second to the desired
height.
•
Use a high engine speed (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low ground speed (the machine
moves slowly) for the best mowing results. If
the grass is not too long and dense, the ground
speed can be increased without noticeably
depreciating the mowing result.
•
mow often to obtain the finest lawn. mowing
becomes more even and grass clippings more
evenly distributed over the mown area. The total
time taken is not increased, as a higher driving
speed can be used without inferior mowing
results.
•
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is
inadequate because the wheels sink into the soft
lawn. Clumps build and the grass clippings will
fasten under the cowling.
•
Hose the mower deck with water after each use.
Hose especially underneath. Do not spray high
pressure spray directly on top of spindles. Avoid
getting engine too wet.
•
Do not spray water directly on a hot mower. Allow
it to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning.
