MOWING 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 trimming.
• Drive so that clippings are discharged onto
the area that has already 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, startbyturning
to the right so that clippings will discharge
away from
shrubs,
fences,
driveways,
etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction making left hand turns
until finished.
(
• If grass is extremely
tall, it should
be
mowed twice to reduce load 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.
Regulate
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 will suit the terrain and
give best performance
of the attachment
being used.
