MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built-,up grass and
trash, See "Cleaning" in CUS'f©MER
RESPONSIBILITIES section of this manual
. The special mulching blade will recurthe
grass clippings many times and reduce
them in size so that as they fall onto the
lawn they will disperse into the grass and
not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will
biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for
the lawn. Always mulch with your highest
engine (blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutUng action of the blade&
. Avoid culling your lawn when it is wet. Wet
grass tends to form clumps and interferes
with the mulching action. The best time to
mow your lawn is the early afternoon. A'_
this time the grass has dried and the newly
cut area will not be exposed to the direct
,sun.
° For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts
off only the top one-third of the grass blades.
If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary
to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from overloading the
engine and leaving clumps of mulched
grass For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut by overlapping
previously cut path and mow slowly°
,, Certain types of grass and grass conditions
may require that an area be mulched a
second time to completely hide the
clippings. When doing a second c_4,mew
across or perpendicular tOthe first cut path.
* Changeyour cutting pattern from week to
week. Mow north to south one week then
change to east to west the next week, This
will help prevent matting and graining of the
lawn,

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT; It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in essential fuel system
parts such as carburetor, fuel system parts
such as carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank
during storage° Also, expedence indicates that
alcohol blended fuels ( called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage_ Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
= Drain the fuel tank.
. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty.
- Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may o_(Jr,
° Use fresh fuel next season,
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer Is an acoeptable
altema_ve In minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Runenglneatleast 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetor. Do not draln the gas
tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
