To get a good cutting result
• For best performance, do maintenance on the
product regularly as given in the maintenance
schedule. Refer to

.
• Do not cut a wet lawn. Wet grass can give a bad
cutting result.
• Do not use tire chains when you attach the cutting
deck to the product.
• Make sure that the cutting deck is level. Refer to
adjust the parallelism of the cutting deck on page
30
.
• If the grass is high, start with a high cutting height
and decrease it gradually.
• Move the product forward at low speed if the grass is
high and thick.
• Use full throttle when you cut the grass.
• Cut the grass in an irregular pattern.
• Use the left side of the cutting deck when you
cut near trees, bushes or paths. The blade cuts
approximately 15 mm in from the side of the cutting
deck.
• When you cut large areas, move the product to the
right during 1 or 2 turns around the work area. This

direction.
• To get the best cutting result, cut the grass
frequently.
