MOWING T IPS
• Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
• Mower should be properlyleveled 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 largeareas, start byturning
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 [eft hand turns
until finished.

J
• 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 c]umps.
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.
