For Best Mowing Results
• Cut grass when it is dry.
• Keep mower blades sharp.
• Keep mower deck properly leveled.
• Adjust anti-scalp wheels to prevent
scalping.
• Do not set height of cut too low. For very
tall grass, mow twice.
• Do not travel too fast.
• Mow with engine at full throttle.
• When mulching, only remove 1/3 of grass
length per cutting. Do not cut more than 2.5
cm (1") at a time.
• Discharge clippings into areas already cut.

• Do not allow grass or debris to collect
inside mower deck. Clean after each use.
