MOWING TIPS
NOTE
A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting high
grass. Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per year.
•
Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the blades or the motor.
These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction, and could cause serious personal
injury to the operator and to others. In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or
wet conditions.
•
Do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn. When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in
order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
•
For a healthy lawn, always cut o ffone-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be
approximately 1 to 2 in. (2.5 cm to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2 in. to 3-3/8 in. (5 cm to 8.5
cm) long during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
