GENERAL MOWING TIPS
■ Keep the mower blades sharp.
■ 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 discharge away from shrubs, fences,
and driveways. After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction, making left hand turns until finished.
■ Mow so that discharged clippings exit in the direction of
the lawn area that has already been cut.
■ When cutting heavy grass, reduce speed for more
effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. Wet grass sticks to the underside
of the deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of
grass clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a
higher cutting height.
■ Keep the mower deck and side discharge chute clean.
Remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris before and after each use. Do not
spray the product with a garden hose to clean.
