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 rear
disc harg e .
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
rear disc harg e 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 .
