Before mowing, inspect the area to determine
the best mowing procedure. Consider height,
type of grass and terrain type (rolling, level
or rough).
Proper ground speed for mowing will depend
on the height, type and density of grass to be
cut. Normally, ground speed will range from
three to six miles per hour. Tall dense grass
should be mowed at a low speed, while thin
medium height grass can be cut at a faster
ground speed. Always operate engine at full
governed RPM when mowing. This is
necessary to maintain proper blade speed to
produce a clean cut.
Follow
local
recommendations
for
the
suitable cutting height in your area. Avoid
mowing grass too short to increase mowing
intervals. This may stress the grass during hot
