• speed of travel is reduced. This allows the mower the time necessary to make its initial cut, and then the subsequent cuts that chop the materials into small pieces to be discharged properly. Failure to do this will result in a poor finished look and the possibility of stalling the engine. Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will accumulate under the mower deck and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.
