IMPORTANT: Never engage the PTO if the
mower is plugged with grass or other
material. This may cause damage to the
electric clutch.

For Best Mowing Results
• Cut grass when it is dry.
• Keep mower blades sharp.
• Keep mower deck properly leveled.
• Adjust anti-scalp rollers to prevent scalping.
• Do not set height of cut too low. For very
tall grass, mow twice.
• Do not travel too fast.
• Mow with the engine set at full throttle.
• When mulching, only remove 1/3 of grass
length per cutting. Do not cut more than
2.5 cm (1") at any one time.
• Discharge clippings into areas already cut.
• Vary cutting pattern with each mowing.
• Do not allow grass or debris to collect
inside of mower deck. Clean after each
use.
