OperatingTips

UsingtheFastThrottleSetting

Forbestmowingandmaximumaircirculation,operate theengineattheFASTthrottleposition.Airisrequired tothoroughlycutgrassclippings,sodonotsetthe heightofcutsolowastototallysurroundthemower inuncutgrass.Alwaystrytohave1sideofthemower freefromuncutgrass,whichallowsairtobedrawn intothemower.

CuttingaLawnfortheFirstTime

Cutthegrassslightlylongerthannormaltoensure thatthecuttingheightofthemowerdoesnotscalp anyunevenground.However,thecuttingheightyou haveusedinthepastisgenerallythebesttouse. Whencuttinggrasslongerthan15cm(6inches)tall, youmaywanttocutthelawntwicetoensurean acceptablequalityofcut.

CuttingaThirdoftheGrassBlade

Itisbesttocutonlyaboutathirdofthegrassblade. Cuttingmorethanthatisnotrecommendedunless grassissparse,oritislatefallwhengrassgrows moreslowly.

AlternatingtheMowingDirection

Alternatethemowingdirectiontokeepthegrass standingstraight.Thisalsohelpsdisperseclippings, whichenhancesdecompositionandfertilization.

CuttingLongGrass

Ifthegrassiseverallowedtogrowslightlylongerthan normal,orifitcontainsahighdegreeofmoisture, raisethecuttingheighthigherthanusualandcutthe grassatthissetting.Thencutthegrassagainusing thelower,normalsetting.

Stopping

Ifyoumuststoptheforwardmotionofthemachine whilemowing,aclumpofgrassclippingsmaydrop ontoyourlawn.T oavoidthis,moveontoapreviously cutareawiththebladesengaged.

KeepingtheUndersideofthe MowerClean

Cleanclippingsanddirtfromtheundersideofthe moweraftereachuse.Ifgrassanddirtbuildupinside themower,thecuttingqualityeventuallybecomes unsatisfactory.

MaintainingtheBlade

Maintainasharpbladethroughoutthecuttingseason, becauseasharpbladecutscleanlywithouttearingor shreddingthegrassblades.Tearingandshredding turnsgrassbrownattheedges,whichslowsgrowth andincreasesthechanceofdisease.Checkthe cutterbladesdailyforsharpnessandforanywearor damage.Filedownanynicksandsharpentheblades asnecessary.Ifabladeisdamagedorworn,replace itimmediatelywithagenuineT ororeplacementblade.
