Mowing Tips
The following suggestions will produce the best cut quality
and lawn appearance:
NOTE: The MPV must be in low gear in order to engage
the blades.
• The cutting deck should be properly leveled for best
mowing performance. (See Leveling the Deck on page
32.)
• Keep blades sharp.
• Do not mow grass when wet.
• Adjust travel speed to match conditions. Travel at slower
speeds when mowing thick or tall grass and higher
speeds when mowing thin grass.
• Operate the MPV so that discharged clippings exit
towards the area that has been cut. Mow with the cut
area to the right of the MPV for more even distribution of
clippings and uniform cutting.
• Suggested nished grass height range is between 2½
3½ in.
Deck Lift System
The MPV is equipped with a manual deck lift system. The
average lawn should be cut to approximately 2½” during
the cool season and to over 3½” during hotter months.
During transport, the deck lift lever should remain in the
highest position.
