MOWINGTIPS
Tire chains cannot be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
Mower should be propedy leveled for
best mowing performance. See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual.
Use the runner on the dght hand side of
. mower as a guide. The blade cuts
approximately an inch outside the run-
ner.
The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
Drive so that clippings are discharged
onto the area that has been cut. Have
the cut area to the dght of the tractor.
This will result in a more even distribu-
tion of clippings and more uniform cut-
ting.
When mowing large areas, start by tum-
ing to the right so that clippings will dis-
charge away from shrubs, fences, ddve-
ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left
hand turns until finished.
If grass is extremely tall, itshould be
mowed twice to reduce load and possi-
ble fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high;the second
to the desired height.
Do not mow grass when itis wet. Wet
grass willplug mower and leave unde-
sirableclumps. Allow grass to dry
before mowing.
Always operate engine at full throttle
when mowing to assure better mowing
performance and proper discharge of
material. Regulate ground speed by se-
lectinga low enough gear to give the
mower the best cutting performance as
well as the qualityof cut desired.
When operating attachments, select a
groundspeed that willsuit the terrain
and give best performance of the at-
tachment being used.
