MOWING TIPS
NOTICE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the tractor, especially when cutting tall grass. Make sure
to check the sharpness of the blade before mowing.
◾
Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects which could damage the tractor's cutting blades
or motors. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the tractor in any direction and could cause serious personal
injury to the operator and to others.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, turn off the tractor and remove the batteries. Thoroughly inspect the tractor
for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the tractor. Excessive vibration of the tractor
during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
◾
The mowing result will be the best with a high cutting blade
speed and low driving speed. If the grass is not too long and
dense, the driving speed can be increased without negatively
affecting the mowing result.
◾
When cutting heavy grass, reduce the driving speed to allow
for a more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
clippings.
◾
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired
mowing result is attained. Grass over 6 inches (152 mm) long
should be mowed twice, at successively lower cutting heights.
◾
To maintain a healthy lawn, cut off only one-third or less of the total length of the grass (Fig. 22). The average lawn
should be approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches (38 – 51mm) long during cool months, and between 2 to 3-1/4 inches
(51 – 83 mm) long during hot months. For healthier and better-looking lawns, mow more often after moderate
growth.
◾
Do not cut wet grass. Mowing on wet surfaces can cause loss of control and the wheels to sink into the soft lawn.
Wet grass will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of the grass clippings.
◾
New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a higher cutting height.
◾
Keep the tractor deck and side discharge chute clean. Remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris before and after each use. See section "Cleaning the machine" in this manual.
