MOWING
TIPS
• Tire chains
cannot
be used when
the
mower housing
is attached to tractor,
• Mowershould
beproperlyleveledforbest
mowing
performance.
See "TO LEVEL
MOWER
HOUSING"
in the Service
and
Adjustments
section
of this manual.
• The left hand side of mower should
be
used for trimming.
• Drive
so that clippings
are discharged
onto the area that has aiready been cut.
Have the cut area to the right of the tractor,
This will result in a more even distribution
of clippings
and more uniform
cutting,
• When mowing large areas, start byturning
to the rig ht so that clippings will discharge
away
from
shrubs,
fences,
driveways,
etc. After one or two rounds, mew in the
opposite
direction
making
left hand turns
until finished.
• If grass
is extremely
tall,
it should
be
mowed twice to reduce toad and possible
fire hazard
from dried clippings,
Make
first cut relatively
high; the second to the
desired height.
* Do not mow grass when it is wet.
Wet
grass will plug mower and leave undesir-
able clumps.
Allow grass to dry before
mowing.
• Always
operate
engine
at full throttle
when
mowing
to assure
better
mow-
ing performance
and proper
discharge
of material.
ReguMte
ground
speed by
selecting
a low enough speed to give the
mower cutting performance
as well as the
quality of cut desired.
. When
operating
attachments,
select
a
ground speed that wi!l suit the terrain and
give best performance
of the attachment
being used.
