MOWING
TIPS
,_ CAUTION:
Do not use de-thatcher
blade attachments
on your mower.
Such
attachments
are 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 overloading
the
engine
and leaving clumps
of grass clip-
pings° It may also be necessary
to re-
duce ground speed and/or
run the fawn
mower over the area a second time.
o 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°
o Pores in cloth grass catchers
can be-
come filled with dirt and dust with use
and catchers
will collect
less grass. To
prevent
this, regularly
hose catcher
off
with water and let dr/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,
o Avoid cutting
your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps
and
interferes
witt_ the mulching
action,
Tile
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.
o 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
o 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,
o 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 r.
