Cutting Grass
• Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.
For improved quality of cut, runtime, and bagging,
cut grass at a higher height of cut.
• Do not cut below 51 mm (2 inches) unless the
grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth
begins to slow down.
• When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall,
mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk
slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the
best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the
machine may plug and cause the motor to stall.
• W et grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard
and can cause the machine to plug or the motor to
stall. A void mowing in wet conditions.
• Be aware of a potential re hazard in very dry
conditions, follow all local re warnings, and keep
the machine free of dry grass and leaf debris.
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps
disperse the clippings over the lawn for even
fertilization.
• If the nished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory ,
try 1 or more of the following:
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
– W alk at a slower pace while mowing.
– Raise the cutting height on your machine.
– Cut the grass more frequently .
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
Cutting Leaves
• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn
shows through the cut leaf cover . Y ou may need
to make more than a single pass over the leaves.
• If there are more than 13 cm (5 inches) of leaves
on the lawn, mow at a higher cutting height and
then again at the desired cutting height.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the machine
does not cut the leaves nely enough.
