MOWING TIPS
o Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass,
it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to
red_Jce pushing effort and to keep from
overloading the engine and leaving clumps of
grass clippings.
o For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of
cut and raise the rear of the lawn mower hous-
ing one (1) wheel adjuster setting higher than the
front for better discharge of grass.
° For better grass bagging and most cutting con-
ditions, the engine speed should be set in the
"HIGH" (FAST) position°
o When using a rear discharge lawn mower in
moist, heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may not
enter the grass catcher, Reduce ground speed
(pushing speed) and/or run the lawn mower over
the area a second time_
o If a trail of grass clippings is left on the right side
of a rear discharge lawn mower, mow in a
clockwise direction with a small overlap to col-
lect the clippings on the next pass.
o For side discharge lawn mowers, cutting in a
counter-clockwise direction, starting at the outside
of the area to be cut, spreads grass clippings more
evenly and puts less load on the engine To keep
clippings off of walkways, flower beds, etco, make
the first cuts in a clockwise direction_
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled
with dirt and dust with use and catchers will col-
led less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose cat-
cher off with water and let dry before using.
o The vent holes in the baffle in back of apermanex
catcher can become filled with dirt and dust with
use and the catcher will collect less grass.
To prevent this, regularly hose the catcher baffle
with water and let dry before using.
° Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean
of grass clippings and chaff. This witl help engine
air flow and extend engine life.
