mower housingis attachedto tractor.
Mowershould be properly leveledfor
best mowingperformance. See "TO
LEVEL MOWERHOUSING"in the
Service andAdjustmentssection of this
manual.
• The left handside of mowershould be
used for trimming.
• Driveso that clippingsare discharged
onto the area that has already been
cut. Havethe cut areato the rightof
the tractor. Thiswill result in a more
evendistributionof clippingsand more
uniformcutting.
When mowing largeareas,start by

If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and pos-
sible fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
Do not mow grass when it is wet.
Wet grass will plug mower and leave
undesirable clumps. 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
selecting a low enough gear to give the
mower cutting performance as well as
the quality of cut desired.
• When operating attachments, select a
ground speed that will suit the terrain
and give best performance of the at-
tachment being used.
