AOWING TIPS
Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing
is attached to tractor
Mower should be properly leveled for best 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 trim-
ming.
Drive so that clppings
are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
machine
This wil result in a more even distribution of
clppings and more uniform cutting.
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right
so that ctppings
will discharge
away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left hand turns until
finished (See Fig. !0 )o
o
If grass is extremeiy tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fro haza_'d fro__ dried clp-
pings_ Make first cut relatively h_b
the second to the
desired height°
o
Do not mow {{_rasswhen it is weL Wet g_ass wil pi_._g
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Alow grass to
dry before mowing
o
AIways operate engine at fu! throtle when mowkg to
assure better mowing performance
and proper dis-
charge ot material. Regulate 9round speed by seiect-
ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
pedormance as wel as the quality of cut desired.
o
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that wi/suit
the terrain and give best performance of
the attachment being used

The special mulching Made will recut the grass clip-
pings many times and redL_cethem in size so that as
they fa/onto
the lawn they wiI disperse into the grass
and not be noticed
Also, the mutched
grass wll
biodegrade quickty to provide nutrients for the lawn.
Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed
as this wit provide the best recutting action of the
b!ades.
o
Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet° Wet grass tends
to form cturnps and interferes with the mulching _ction.
The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.
At this time the g_ass has dried and the newly cut area
wil not be exposed to the direct s_Jn.
For best results, adiust the mower cutting hei_jht so that
the mower cuts off only the top oneothird of the grass
blades (See Fig. 11). Fo[ extremely heavy m_lching,
reduce your width of cut and mow slow_y.
o
Certain types of grass and grass conditions
may re-
quire that an area be mulched a second time to com-
pletely hide the ctppings.
When doing a second cut,
mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path
o
Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow
