4.
The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of the grass and to get the
necessary thrust to push the cuttings through the collector channel.
5.
The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of growth of the grass, which
should not be left to grow too much between one cut and the next.
6.
During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent the ground
from drying out.
7.
If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty four hour period. The first time
at maximum cutting height, possibly reducing the cutting width and the second cut at
the height desired.
8.
The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate the cutting in both directions.
9.
If the collector channel tends to get blocked with grass, you should reduce the forward
speed since this may be too high for the condition of the lawn. If the problem persists,
the probable causes are either the badly sharpened blade or deformed wings.
10.
Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs since these could distort the
horizontal position of the cutting deck, and damage its edge as well as the blade.
