Here's how to execute a left end-of-row zero turn:
1. Gradually decelerate at the row's end.
2. Slightly push the RIGHT steering control lever
forward while moving the LEFT steering control
lever back to its center and then slightly back.
3. Resume forward mowing.
By adopting this approach, the mower turns left and
slightly overlaps the recently cut row, eliminating the
necessity to backtrack and recut any missed grass.

MOWING
Select a smooth, level area to mow. Be cautious of
trees, fences, and slopes. Mow in straight lines, slightly
overlapping. Occasionally change patterns to prevent
flat spots. For a professional touch, mow across once
and then go perpendicular on the next round.
When mowing expansive spaces, begin by turning
towards the right to ensure that clippings are directed
away from shrubs, fences, driveways, and other areas.
After completing one or two rounds, mow in a back-and-
forth pattern across the lawn, pivoting at the edges of
the previously mowed grass.

MOWING PATTERNS
7.8.1 SIDE-DISCHARGING
Side-discharging is a mowing technique that efficiently
processes a larger volume of grass in a single pass.
This method involves expelling grass clippings to the
side of the mower deck and dispersing them across
the lawn. The side-discharge deck design allows for
effective cutting even in high grass conditions, making
it ideal for larger areas where expedited mowing is
essential. For optimal mowing, set blade speed to
the highest level. If the motor slows, reduce drive
speed. Slower drive speed boosts blade efficiency
and prevents cutting issues. Choose side-discharging
mowing for 3-5 inch grass. Avoid cutting more than 1
inch at once.
7.8.2 MULCHING
Mulching offers versatile benefits, finely cutting grass
and returning clippings to the soil. Remember, mulching
works best on dry and moderate-height grass. For
English
successful mulching, set the blade speed highest and
match it with the slowest driving speed. This ensures
finely cut clippings. When mulching, drive at about half
the speed used for broadcasting.
Optimal Clipping Length
Ideal mulching trims just the top ½ - ¾ inch of grass,
resulting in decomposing clippings. Experiment with
cutting height based on your climate, season, and lawn
thickness. As always, mow thoughtfully and consider
your lawn's unique conditions for the best results.

MOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
Multiple factors impact your mower's grass-cutting
efficiency. Adhering to mowing guidelines enhances
performance and longevity.
7.9.1 HEIGHT OF GRASS
Cutting height often depends on preference. Typically,
mow when grass is 3-5 inches high. Proper height
varies based on grass type, rainfall, temperature, and
lawn health. Cutting too short weakens grass and
makes it prone to damage by dry periods and pests.
Slightly longer grass is less prone to damage. Longer
growth in hot, dry conditions reduces heat stress,
conserves moisture, and guards against damage.
Keeping the grass too long leads to thin turf and
problems. Don't cut too much at once; follow the 1/3
rule: trim a maximum of 1/3 and no more than 1 inch at
a time.
Mowing capacity depends on your chosen mowing
system. Broadcasting with side discharge decks
handles more grass than mulching. Tall grass needs
gradual cutting. For very tall grass, begin with max
height (1), then lower it for the second (2) or third pass.
Avoid leaving excessive clippings on top of the grass.
Consider a grass collection system or composting.
Remember, different systems are suited to different
situations.
