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.
