MOWING TIPS
CAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher
blade attachmentson your mower. Such
attachmentsare hazardous,will damage
your mower and could void your warranty.
• 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 overloadingthe 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 cut-
ting conditions, the engine speed should
be set in the FAST position.
• For side discharge lawn mowers, cutting
in a counter-clockwisedirection, start-
ing at the outside of the area to be cut,
spreads grass clippings more evenly
and puts less load on the engine.To
keep clippings off of walkways, flower
beds, etc., make the first cuts in a clock-
wise direction.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
become filled with dirt and dust with use
and catcherswill 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 this 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 recut-
ting 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.
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
grass,
reduce
your width
of cut
by overlapping
previously
cut path and
mow slowly.
MAX 1/3
• 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 sec-
ond cut, mow across
(perpendicular)
to
the first cut path.
• Change
your cutting
pattern
from week
to week.
Mow north to south one week
then change
to east to west the next
week.
This will help prevent
matting
and graining
of the lawn.
