8-5 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN

MOWING

Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of

stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be

accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and

cause serious personal injury to the operator and others

as well as damage to property and surrounding objects.

Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet

grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the

deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut

no more than 1/3 the length of the grass.

The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the

grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the

clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For

especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be

necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get

a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you

may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the

blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and

perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the

first time.

Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to

clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower

should always be operated at full throttle to get the best

cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing.

Clean underside of deck.

Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after

each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would

prevent proper mulching.

Mowing leaves: The mowing of leaves can also be

beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure
