EN–9
• Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
• Cut grass more frequently.
• Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
• Set height-of-cut on front wheels one notch
lower than rear wheels. (example: set front
wheels at 2 inch setting and rear wheels at
2.5 inch setting)
Cutting Leaves
• When cutting is complete, always be sure that
50% of the lawn shows through the cut leaf
cover. This may require one or more passes over
the leaves.
• For light leaf coverage, position all wheels at the
same height-of-cut setting.
• Walk at a slower mowing speed if leaves are not
being cut up finely enough to be hidden down in
the grass.
• If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, you might want
to add lime to your grass in the spring. Lime
reduces the acidity of oak leaves.
