KeepingtheUndersideoftheMower Clean
UsingtheFastThrottleSetting
Forbestmowingandmaximumaircirculation,operatethe engineattheFASTposition.Airisrequiredtothoroughlycut grassclippings,sodonotsettheheight-of-cutsolowasto totallysurroundthemowerinuncutgrass.Alwaystrytohave 1sideofthemowerfreefromuncutgrass,whichallowsair tobedrawnintothemower.
CuttingaLawnfortheFirstTime
Cutgrassslightlylongerthannormaltoensurethatthe cuttingheightofthemowerdoesnotscalpanyuneven ground.However,thecuttingheightusedinthepastis generallythebestonetouse.Whencuttinggrasslongerthan 15cm(6inches)tall,youmaywanttocutthelawntwiceto ensureanacceptablequalityofcut.
CuttingaThirdoftheGrassBlade
