repeat priming steps.
MOWING TiPS
* Under certain conditions, such as very tail grass, itmay
be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushing effort and to ke.epfrom overloading the engine
and leaving clumps of grass clippings.
- For extremely heavy cuttjng, reduce the width of cut
and raise the rear of the lawn mower housing one (1)
wheel adjuster setting higher than the front for better
discharge of grass.
- For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,
the engine speed should be set in the fast (,_) posi-
tion.
For side discharge lawn mowers, cutt,ng in a counter-
clockwise direction, starting at the outside of the area
to be cut, spreads grass clippings more eVenly and
puts ess oad on the eng ne To keep cl ppings off of
walkways, flower beds, etc., make the first cuts in a
clockwise direction.
= Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt
and dust with use and catchers will collect less grass.
To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water
and let dry before using.
- Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of
grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine a_rflow
-and extend engine life.
