MOWING
TIPS
• Under certain conditions,
such as very
tail grass,
it may be necessary
to raise
the height
of cut to reduce pushing
effort
and to keep from overloading
the engine
and leaving
clumps
of grass clippings.
It
may also be necessary
to reduce
ground
speed
and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
o For extremely
heavy cutting, reduce
the
width of cut by overlapping
previously
cut path and mow slowly.
, When
using a rear discharge
lawn
mower
in moist, heavy grass, clumps
of
cut grass may not enter the grass
catcher.
Reduce ground speed
(push-
ing speed)
and/or run the lawn mower
over the area a second time
= If a trail of clippings
is left on the right
side of a rear discharge
mower,
mow in
a clockwise
direction with a small
overlap
to collect the clippings
on the
next
pass.
o Pores in cloth grass catchers
can
become
filled with dirt and dust with use
and catchers
will collect less grass.
To
prevent
this, regularly
hose catcher
off
with water and let dry before using
• Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings
and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and extend
engine life.
MULCHING
MOWING
TIPS
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing
free of built-up
grass and trash. See CLEANING
in
Maintenance
section
of this maeuaJ
= The special mulching
blade will
recut the grass clippings
many
times and reduce them in size so
that as they fall onto the lawn they
wilt disperse
into the grass and not
be noticed. Also, the mulched
grass will biodegrade
quickly to
provide
nutrients
for the lawn
', Avoid cutting your lawn when it is
wet. Wet grass tends to form
clumps and interferes
with the
mulching
aclion
The best time Io
mow your lawn is the early
afternoon,
At this time the grass
has dried and the newly cut area
will not be exposed
to the direct
sun
° For best results,
adjust ti_e lawn
mower' cutting height
so that the
lawn mower cuts off only the top
one-third
of the grass blades
If the
lawn is overgrown
it will be
necessary
to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing
effort and to
keep from overloading
the motor
and leaving clumps
of mulched
grass° For extremely
heavy
mulching,
reduce your width of cut,
mow slowly and raise the rear of
the lawn mower
one wheel
adjuster
setting higher than the
front.
,, Certain types of grass and grass
conditions
may require that an
area be mulched
a second
time to
completely
hide the clippings.
When doing a second
cut, mow
across
or perpendicular
to the first
cut path.
° Change your cutting
pattern from
week to week.
Mow north to south
one week then change
to east to
west the next week, This will help
prevent matting
and graining
of the
lawn_
