OPERATION
MOWING
See Figure 23, page v
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones,
sticks, wires, and other objects that could
damage the lawn mower blades or motor.
Such objects could be accidentally thrown by
the mower in any direction and cause serious
personal injury to the operator and others.
■ For a healthy plot of grass, always cut off
one-third or less of the total length of the
grass blades.
■ When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking
speed to allow for more effective cutting and
a proper mulching or discharge of the
clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the
underside of the deck (12) and prevent
proper mulching or discharge of grass
clippings.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING

grease, etc.
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower
cutting swath.
■ Clean the underside of the mower deck (12)
after each use to remove grass clippings,
leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated
debris. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The
most effective pattern for mowing lawns is
straight lines parallel to one of the sides.
