MOWING TIPS

•  Mower should be properly leveled for best 

mowing performance.  See “TO LEVEL 

MOWER HOUSING” in the Service and 

Adjustments section of this manual.

•  The left hand side of mower should be 

used for trim ming.

•  Drive so that clippings are dis charged 

onto the area that has already been cut.  

Have the cut area to the right of the riding 

mower.  This will result in a more even 

dis tri bu tion of clippings and more uniform 

cutting.

•  When mowing large areas, start by turning 

to the right so that clippings will discharge 

away from shrubs, fences, driveways, 

etc.  After one or two rounds, mow in the 

opposite direction making left hand turns 

until finished.

•  If grass is extremely tall, it should be 

mowed twice to reduce load and possible 

fire hazard from dried clip pings.  Make 

first cut relatively high; the second to the 

desired height.

•  Do not mow grass when it is wet.  Wet 

grass will plug mower and leave undesir-

able clumps.  Allow grass to dry before 

mowing.

• Reg 

u late ground speed by se lect ing a low 

enough gear to give the mower cut ting 

per for mance as well as the quality of cut 

desired.

•  When operating attachments, se lect a 

ground speed that will suit the terrain and 

give best performance of the at tach ment 

being used.
