the engine speed should be set in the fast (.€_) posi-
tion.
• When using a rear discharge lawn mower in moist,
heavy grass, clumps of out grass may not enter the
grass catcher: Reduce ground speed (pushing speed)
and/or tun the lawn mows rover the area a second lime.,
• If atrailer grass cllpplngsls left on ti:teright side of a rear
