MOWING TIPS

■
Make sure the lawn mower mowing area is clear of
stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could
damage the lawn mower blades or engine. Such
objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in
any direction and cause serious personal injury to the
operator and others.
■
For best performance, always cut off one-third or less of
the total height of the grass.
■
When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
clippings.
■
Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of the
deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass
clippings.
■
New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height
and a narrower cutting path.
■
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris. Refer to "Cleaning the underside
of the mower deck" section.
SLOPE OPERATION TIPS
See figure 10.
■
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall
accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to
mow slopes greater than 15 degrees. Do not use the
drive wheels when mowing on slopes.
■
Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
■
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
■
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and a fall can
cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing
your balance, immediately release the power lever.
■
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
