maximum height, possibly reducing the cut-
ting width, and the second cut at the desired
height. When mulching, always avoid remov-
ing a large quantity of grass.
8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you
alternate cutting in both directions.
9. When using the side discharge, it is best to
mow in a pattern where cut grass is not dis-
charged on the grass still to be cut.
10. If the outlet tends to get blocked with grass,
you should reduce the forward speed since
this may be too high for the condition of the
lawn. If the problem persists, the probable
causes are either the badly sharpened blade
or deformed fins.
11. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or
kerbs since these could distort the horizontal
position of the cutting deck, and damage its
edge as well as the blade.

The grass-catcher is full when the grass cuttings
remain on the lawn. If you continue mowing with

To empty the grass-catcher:
