MOWING TIPS

CAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher

blade attachments on your mower. Such

attachments are hazardous, will damage

your mower and could void your warranty.

• Under certain conditions, such as when

mowing very tall grass, raise the mower

height on the ﬁ rst cut to avoid overheat-

ing the motor, and to avoid leaving

clumps of grass clippings. Make the

sec ond cut to the desired height.

• For extremely heavy cutting, re duce the

width of cut by over lap ping previously

cut path.

• When using a rear discharge lawn

mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps

of cut grass may not enter the grass

catcher. Run the lawn mower over the

area a second time.

• If a trail of clippings is left on the right

side of a rear discharge mow er, mow in

a clockwise direction with a small over-

lap to collect the clippings on the next

pass.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can

become ﬁ lled with dirt and dust with use

and catchers will collect less grass. To

prevent this, reg u lar ly hose catcher off

with water and let dry before using.

OPERATION

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance,

keep mower housing free of built-up grass

and trash. See "CLEANING" in the Main-

tenance section of this manual.

• The special mulching blade will recut

the grass clip pings many times and

reduce them in size so that as they fall

onto the lawn they will disperse into

the grass and not be noticed. Also, the

mulched grass will bio de grade quickly

to provide nu tri ents for the lawn. Always

mulch with your highest motor (blade)

speed as this will provide the best recut-

ting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.

Wet grass tends to form clumps and

in ter feres with the mulch ing action.

• For best results, adjust the lawn mower

cutting height so that the lawn mower

cuts off only the top one-third of the

grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it

will be necessary to raise the height of

cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep

from over load ing the motor and leaving

clumps of mulched grass. For ex tremely

heavy grass, reduce your width of cut

by overlapping previously cut path and

mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass

con di tions may re quire that an area be

mulched a second time to com pletely

hide the clip pings. When doing a sec-

ond cut, mow across (per pen dic u lar) to

the ﬁ rst cut path.

• Change your cutting pattern from week

to week. Mow north to south one week

then change to east to west the next

week. This will help prevent matting and

graining of the lawn.
