When adjusting the cutting height
and the forward speed of the
tractor, it is important not to
overload the unit. The cutting
height and the forward speed of the
tractor must be adjusted according
to the length, type and dampness
of the grass to be cut.
The best way to mow lawns
Mow the first two stretches of
lawn so that the shoot on the side
of the tractor discharges the grass
debris towards the middle of the
lawn.
• Never allow the grass to grow
too high
• Never cut the grass too short
• Always mow in straight lines
•
Do not mow at a high speed,
especially when the mulch kit
or grass catcher are installed.
•
Do not attempt to mow
undergrowth, weeds or very
tall grass. Your tractor is
designed for mowing lawns
and not for clearing
undergrowth.
