Operation

Selecting the Proper

Height-of-Cut

R emo v e appro ximately one inc h or no more

than 1/3 of the g rass blade when cutting . In

ex ce ptionally lush and dense g rass y ou ma y need

to raise the height-of-cut setting or con v er t to side

disc harg e or bag ging operations .

Mowing in Extreme

Conditions

Air is required to cut and recut g rass clippings in

the mo w er housing, so do not set the height-of-cut

too lo w or totally sur round the housing b y uncut

g rass . Alw a ys tr y to ha v e one side of the mo w er

housing free from uncut g rass , allo wing air to be

dra wn into the housing . W hen making an initial

cut through the center of an uncut area, operate

the mac hine slo w er and bac k up if the mo w er

star ts to clog .

Mowing at Proper Intervals

Under most nor mal conditions y ou will need to

mo w ev er y 4–5 da ys . Ho w ev er , g rass g ro ws at

different rates at different times . T hus , in order

to maintain the same height-of-cut, whic h is a

g ood practice , y ou’ll need to cut more frequently

in early spring; as the g rass g ro wth rate slo ws in

mid summer , cut only ev er y 8–10 da ys . If y ou

are unable to mo w for an extended period due to

w eather conditions or other reasons , con v er t to

side disc harg e or bag ging options or mo w ﬁrst

with the height-of-cut at a high lev el; then mo w

ag ain 2–3 da ys later with a lo w er height setting .

Mowing with Sharp Blades

A shar p blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or

shredding the g rass . A dull blade will tear and

shred the g rass . T earing and shredding causes the

g rass to tur n bro wn at the edg es whic h impairs

g ro wth and increases susce ptibility to disease .

After Operating

T o ensure optim um perfor mance , clean the

underside of the mo w er housing after eac h use .

If residue is allo w ed to build up in the mo w er

housing, cutting perfor mance will decrease .
