NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold
temperatures (below 32°F), the carburetor fuel mixture
may need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See
"TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjust-

MOWING TIPS
= Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is
attached to tractor.
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing
performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" ir
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
= Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a
guide. The blade cuts aooroximately an inch outside
the runner (See Fig. 7).
• The left hand side of mower should be used for trim-
ming.
Drive so that clippings are dischargee onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
tractor. This will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting,
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right
so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc, After one or two rounds mow
in the opposite direction making left hand turns until
finished ISee Fig, 8).
If grass is extremely tall. it should be mowea twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clio-
pings, Make first cut relatively high: the second to the
desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet, Wet c "ass will plug
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to
ory before mowing.
• Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to
assure better mowing performance and proper dis-
charge of material. Regulate ground speed by select-
Ing a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
pertormance as well as the quality of cut desired.
When operating attachments, select a ground speed
that will suit the terrain and give best performance ol
the attachment being used.
