These cutting patterns are only recommended for 

a flat, level lawn surface. 

First make 

2 or 3 turns in a clockwise direction. 

then turn around 

and continue cutting in a 

counter-closckwise direction. 

The first round of cuts is the key to making a neat 
finish. First, make 2 or 3 turns in a clockwise 
direction. 

As you reach the center of the area, turn 

to the right and begin cutting in a counter-clock- 
wise direction until you have finished the the upper 

half of the area. Cut the grass in the remaining half 
in a counter-clockwise dire'ction. 

Mowing unsquare areas 
If your mowing area 

is not square or four-sided, 

divide the area into several blocks 

so you can 

mow in a neat mowing pattern. 
Overlapping on straightaways 
Be sure that each mowing lane overlaps suffi- 
ciently. The recommended overlap width is be- 

tween 

4-6 inches or approximately the width of 

one of the mower's front tires. 
Overlapping in curves and turns 
When cutting in curves and turns, shift to a slower 
speed and be sure to overlap the previous cut by 
20-50% or approximately half the width 

of the 

mower. 

Pass 

diagonally through sharp dips and avoid 

sharp drops to prevent "hanging up" the tractor 
and mower. Practice will improve your skills in 
maneuvering rough terrain. 

Take all possible precautions when leaving tractor 

unattended: disengage mid-PTO; set parking 

brake, stop engine, remove key and lower mower 

to ground.
