MOWING TIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary
to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from
overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It
may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping
previously cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions, the engine
speed should be set in the fast position.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust
with use and catchers will collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly
hose catcher off with water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings
and chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life.
MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep mower housing free of built-
up grass and trash. See “Cleaning” in the Maintenance section of the
Operator’s Manual.
• The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings many times
and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will
disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass
will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. ALWAYS
mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form
clumps and interferes with the mulching action. The best time to mow
your lawn is the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried, yet
the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height so that the
lawn mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades
(Figure A). If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary to raise the
height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading
the engine and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For extremely heavy
mulching, reduce your width of cut by overlapping previously cut path
and mow slowly.
• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area
be mulched a second time to completely hide the clippings. When
doing a second cut, mow across (perpendicular) to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south
one week, then east to west the next week. This will help prevent
matting and graining of the lawn.
CONSEJOS PARA CORTAR EL CÉSPED
• En algunas circunstancias, como en el caso de césped muy alto,
puede que sea necesario elevar la altura de corte para reducir el
esfuerzo de empuje y evitar sobrecargar el motor y dejar montones
de césped cortado. Puede que también sea necesario reducir la
velocidad y/o hacer una segunda pasada con la podadora por el
área.
• Para los cortes más difíciles, reduzca el ancho de corte
superponiendo los caminos ya cortados y pase la cortadora
lentamente.
• Para un mejor embolsado del césped y en la mayoría de las
condiciones de corte, la velocidad del motor debe fijarse en posición
rápida.
• Los poros de los colectores de césped de tela pueden llenarse de
suciedad y polvo con el uso y recolectar menor cantidad de césped.
Para evitarlo, pase agua con una manguera para limpiar el colector
periódicamente y déjelo secar antes de usar.
• Mantenga la parte superior del motor que rodea el arrancador limpio
y libre de amontonamientos de césped y paja. Esto ayudará a que el
aire circule por el motor y prolongará su vida útil.
CONSEJOS PARA TRITURAR EL CÉSPED
IMPORTANTE: Para un mejor rendimiento, mantenga la carcasa de
la podadora libre de acumulación de césped y residuos. Vea
“Limpieza” en la sección Mantenimiento del Manual del Operador.
• La cuchilla trituradora especial vuelve a cortar los montones de
césped varias veces y los reduce en tamaño de modo que caigan
en el césped y se dispersen allí sin que se noten. Además, el césped
triturado se biodegrada rápidamente y proporciona nutrientes al
césped. SIEMPRE triture a la máxima velocidad del motor (cuchilla),
ya que esto proporcionará la mejor acción de recorte de las cuchillas.
• Evite cortar el césped cuando está mojado. El césped mojado tiende
a aglomerarse e interfiere con la acción de trituración. El mejor
momento para cortar el césped es temprano por la tarde. A esta hora
el césped está seco, pero el área recientemente cortada no estará
expuesta a la luz solar directa.
• Para obtener los mejores resultados, ajuste la altura de corte del
césped de manera que la cortadora corte solo el primer tercio
del césped (Figura A). Si el césped está demasiado crecido será
necesario elevar la altura de corte para reducir el esfuerzo de
empuje y evitar sobrecargar el motor y dejar montones de césped
cortado. Para los cortes más difíciles, reduzca el ancho de corte
superponiendo los caminos ya cortados y pase la cortadora
lentamente.
• Ciertos tipos y condiciones de césped pueden requerir una segunda
pasada de la trituradora por el área para ocultar por completo los
montones de césped cortado. En la segunda pasada, corte de forma
perpendicular al camino de la primera pasada.
• Cambie el patrón de corte entre una semana y otra. Corte de norte a
sur una semana y de este a oeste a la siguiente. Esto ayudará a evitar
el rastrillaje y el veteado del césped.

CONSEJOS PARA EL USO
CAUTION: DO NOT use de-thatcher blade attachments on your
mower. Such attachments are hazardous, will damage your
mower, and could void your warranty.
PRECAUCIÓN: NO use accesorios de cuchilla desmalezadora en
su podadora. Estos son peligrosos, dañan la podadora, y podrían
anular la garantía.

IMPORTANT: Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill to
“Full” line on dipstick.
ADD GASOLINE
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. DO NOT overfill. Use fresh,
clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane.
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be
used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. DO NOT store, spill or
use gasoline near an open flame.
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Use fresh fuel next season. NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner
products or permanent damage may occur.
