Remember, grass grows at different rates
at different time of the year. Mow more often in the early spring
to maintain the same cutting height. As the growth rate slows in mid-summer, mow less frequently. If you
cannot mow at a regular interval, mow at a high cutting height; then mow again two days later at a lower
cutting height.
Raise the cutting height of the mower
if the cutting width of the mower is wider than the previous mower.
This ensures that uneven turf is not cut too short.
Raise the cutting height of the mower
if the grass if slightly taller than normal or if it contains a high
degree of moisture. Then mow it again with the cutting height set lower.
WARNING:
Never direct discharge of material from mower deck towards bystanders. Do not operate the
mower without the discharge chute (with side discharge models).
6. Deck cutting height adjustment
Deck can also be raised quickly while mowing is in progress to avoid stumps, rocks or another obstacle

deck will not go below previously selected height.
Deck height is adjustable from 30mm to
130mm. Simply push deck height button on the
right control panel up or down in 5mm
increments to adjust level of mowing. Deck
