isattached to tractor.
• Mower should be propedy leveled for best mowing
performance. Sea'TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in
the Service and Adjuslments section of this manual.
• Use the runner on the right hand side of mower as a
guide The blade cuts approximately an inch outside
the runner (See Fig 8)
• The left hand side el mower should be used for trim-
ming
• Drive so tha.t clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
traclor. This will result in a more even distribution of
Clippings and more _intfoim cutting.

so that cFIpptngs will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one ortwo rounds mow
