If using the optional bagger kit, use extreme caution and operate the
mower slowly when operating on slopes, as the bagging kit can change
the stability of the mower.
Always use the brakes when travelling down the slope. DO NOT attempt
to let the mower coast downhill in neutral.
If at any point the tires lose traction while operating on a slope,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly and carefully straight down
the slope.
5.5 MOWING TIPS
Keep mower blades sharp.
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, toys, tree nuts, tree
branches, and other objects that could damage the riding mower blades
or motor. DO NOT mow over property stakes or other metal posts. Such
objects could damage the blade or be accidentally thrown by the mower
in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and
others.
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of
the grass.
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings
will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or
two rounds, mow in the opposite direction, making left hand turns until
nished.
Mow so that discharged clippings exit in the direction of the lawn area
that has already been cut.
When cutting heavy grass, reduce speed to allow for more effective
cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.
