MOWING TIPS
• Tire chains cannot he used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
• Mower should he properly leveled for
best mowing performance. See =TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual.
• The left hand side of mower should he
used for trimming.
• Drive so that clippings are discharged
onto the area that has been cut. Have
-the cut area to the right of the tractor.
This will result in a more even distribu-
tion of clippings and more uniform cut-
ting.
L •
When mowing large areas, start by tum-
ing to the right so that clippings will dis-
charge away from shrubs, fences, drive-
ways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left
hand tums until finished.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and possi-
ble fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make first cut relatively high;_thesecond
to the desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave unde-
sirable 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 se-
lecting a low enough gear to give the
mower the best cutting performance as
wellas 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.
