MOWING TIPS
• Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor,
• Mowershould beproperlyleveledforbest
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 aiready 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 large areas, start byturning
to the rig ht so that clippings will discharge
away from shrubs, fences, driveways,
etc. After one or two rounds, mew in the
opposite direction making left hand turns
until finished.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce toad 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 clumps. 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. ReguMte 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 wi!l suit the terrain and
give best performance of the attachment
being used.
