Operating Tips

Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches,

and other debris that the blade could hit.

Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never

deliberately mow over any object.

If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,

immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire

from the spark plug, and examine the mower for

damage.

For best performance, install a new blade before

the cutting season begins.

Replace the blade when necessary with a

Lawn-Boy replacement blade.

Cutting Grass

Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a

time. Do not cut below the 2-inch (51 mm) setting

unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when

grass growth begins to slow down. Refer to

Adjusting the Cutting Height on page 9.

When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall,

mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk

slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the

best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the

mower may plug and cause the engine to stall.

Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and

leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause

the mower to plug or the engine to stall.

Warning

Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if

you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry

conditions.

Alternate the mowing direction. This helps

disperse the clippings over the lawn for even

fertilization.

If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try

one or more of the following:

Replace the blade or have it sharpened.

Walk at a slower pace while mowing.

Raise the cutting height on your mower.

Cut the grass more frequently.

Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full

swath with each pass.

Set the cutting height on the front wheels one

notch lower than the rear wheels. For example,

set the front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the

rear wheels at 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).

Cutting Leaves

After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn

shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need

to make more than one pass over the leaves.

If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves

on the lawn, set the front cutting height one or

two notches higher than the rear cutting height.

Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does

not cut the leaves finely enough.
