MOWING TIPS


Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires
and other objects that could damage the lawn
mower blades or motor. Such objects could be
accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction
and cause serious personal injury to the operator
and others.

For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less
of the total length of the grass

When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed
to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings.

Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside
of the deck and prevent proper mulching of grass
clippings.

New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.

Clean the underside of the mower deck after each
use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt and any
other accumulated debris.

SLOPE OPERATION

See figure 10

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall
accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation
on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy
on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not
attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.

Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or
bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such
as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be tripped
over or thrown by the blade.

Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can
cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the switch control lever
immediately.

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments; you could lose your footing or
balance.
