CuttingaLawnfortheFirstTime

KeepingtheUndersideofthe MowerDeckClean

Cleanclippingsanddirtfromtheundersideofthe mowerdeckaftereachuse.Ifgrassanddirtbuildup insidethemowerdeck,cuttingqualitywilleventually becomeunsatisfactory.

MaintainingtheBlade(s)

Maintainasharpbladethroughoutthecuttingseason becauseasharpbladecutscleanlywithouttearingor shreddingthegrassblades.Tearingandshredding turnsgrassbrownattheedges,whichslowsgrowth andincreasesthechanceofdisease.Checkthe mowerbladesaftereachuseforsharpness,and foranywearordamage.Filedownanynicksand sharpenthebladesasnecessary .Ifabladeis damagedorworn,replaceitimmediatelywitha genuineT ororeplacementblade.

AlternatingtheMowingDirection

Alternatethemowingdirectiontokeepthegrass standingstraight.Thisalsohelpsdisperseclippings, whichenhancesdecompositionandfertilization.
