Mowing and Bagging Tips
For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of the 1.
mower housing. See authorized dealer.
For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tires 2.
have the correct amount of air pressure.
Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the 3.
blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the
blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.
Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause 4.
the ends of the grass to turn brown.
Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will not 5.
discharge correctly. Let the grass dry before cutting.
Use the left side of the mower housing to trim near an 6.
object.
Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area. The 7.
result is a more even discharge of cut grass.
When you mow large areas, start by turning to the right 8.
so that the cut grass will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in
the opposite direction making left turns until finished.
If the grass is very high, cut two times to decrease the 9.
load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in
the highest position and then lower the mower housing
for the second cut.
For better engine performance and an even discharge 10.
of the cut grass, always operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position.
When you use a bagger, operate the engine with the 11.
throttle in FAST position and the shift lever in first or
second gear.
For better cutting performance and a quality cut, mow 12.
with the shift lever in one of the slower speeds.
After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower 13.
housing for better performance. Also, a clean mower
housing will help prevent a fire.
