MOWING TIPS
* Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowing performance. See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual.
* The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
* Drive so that clippings are discharged
onto the area that has already been cut.
Have the cut area to the right of the trac-
tor. This will result in a more even distri-
bution of clippings and more uniform
cutting.
* When mowing large areas, start by
turning to the right so that clippings will
discharge away from shrubs, fences,
drb/eways, etc. After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite direction making
left hand turns until finished.

* If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and pos-
sible fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
* Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave undesir-
able clumps. Allow grass to dry before
mowing.
* Always operate engine at full throttle
when mowing to assure better mow-
ing performance and proper discharge
of material. Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough gear to give the
mower cutting performance as we[[ as
the quality of cut desired.
* When operating attachments, select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance of the at-
tachment being used.
