Important:
· Be sure to mow at full throttle (
r
).
· Choose an adequate traveling speed in
accordance with the height or other conditions
of grass to be cut.
· When the screens for the air-intake openings
and radiator are clogged with dust, clean them
at once. Never go on operating with clogged
screens.
· Mowing is desirable when the grass is
dew-free: in the afternoon or late afternoon,
thus preventing the mower from heavy
clogging.
· Always keep the mower deck clean.
· Check the blade ends for damage.
· Repeated mowing is recommended before the
grass grows to high.
· Cutting grass too closely may damage the
grass.
Too maintain a green lawn, never mow more
than one-third off the height of the grass in one
mowing.
· A slower traveling speed will result in
improved mowing. Avoid selecting such a
traveling speed that causes the lawn mower to
bounce.
· Short, fast turns will damage turf. Slow down
sufficiently when turning.
· Frequent sharpening of the mower blades
results in beautiful famishment and less load
on equipment, which leads to economical
operation.
&OR MOWING TALL GRASS
i. Mow grass twice.
First, mow the grass to a height low enough
for the next finishing pass. Then finish to the
desired grass height.
The second traveling pass should be shifted
side ways by 20 cm (8 in.) or so, or travel
perpendicular to the first passes, which will
result in a beautiful even finish.
ii. When trying to finish in one pass, select a
sufficiently slow traveling speed. It may also
be required to set the cutting width to half or
one-third of that for normal operation.
&OR MOWING HIGHLY MOIST GRASS OR ON WET
GROUND
i. If turf damage by the tyres could result, wait until the
grass and land have dried sufficiently.
ii. Wet grass requires a higher grass cutting height
setting than when mowing dry grass, as the cutting
height is often lower than expected during operation.
iii. Select a sufficiently slow traveling speed and avoid
sudden starts, turns, and stops. If not, the turf may be
damaged.
&OR MOWING LOW MOISTURE CONTENT GRASS OR
WHEN THRER IS MUCH DEAD GRASS
i. Advance should be in a direction where the dust does
not hit the operator by taking into consideration the
direction of the wind.
ii. When the air-intake screens are clogged, clean them
at once.
Important:
· When operating the lawn mower in dusty
circumstances, keep on paying attention to the coolant
temperature warning lamp.
Never continue operating when screens are clogged, or
engine breakdown may result.
