MOWING TIPS

•  Tire chains cannot be used when the mower hous ing 

is attached to tractor.

•  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 discharged onto the area 

that has been cut.  Have the cut area to the right of 

the tractor.  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 (See Fig. 26).

Fig. 26

•  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 undesirable clumps.  Allow grass to 

dry before mowing.

• 

Always operate engine at full throttle when mow-

ing to

 assure better mowing performance and proper 

dis charge of material.  Regulate 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, select a ground speed 

that will suit the terrain and give best performance of 

the at tach ment being used.
