Turn clockwise (right turn) when beginning to
mow large, open areas. This discharges clip-
pings away from borderline objects (sidewalks,
driveways, fences, etc.). After making a
clockwise pass, mow iñ a counterclockwise
(left turn) direction. This discharges. clippings
evenly over cut grass. Continuous clockwise
mowing will cause a build up of. clippings,
preventing a uniform cut.
Slow down when making turns. Short, fast
turns can cause scuffing (outside front tire
slides and pulls out grass).
When mowing, regulate forward travel: speed
with Speed Selector and always operate
engine at full throttle.. This. maintains: proper.
blade speed and air flow to facilitate discharg-
ing. of clippings. Mowing with a.Jower. throttle
setting causes blade to tear grass, resulting in

A. good fertilization program and ‘frequent
watering will help keep your lawn weed free
and green all year long. Due to. variations in
climate, soil and grass varieties, ‘contact your
local garden supply dealer, park or golf course
superintendent, or county agent to obtain
specific information pertaining to your area.

use. Do not allow grass clumps or a coating of
grass and debris to collect inside of mower
pan. Avoid operation over bare ground intermit-
tent with grass cutting as this causes dirt and
grass to collect and cake under pan surface. -
