Observe and flag rocks and other fixed 

• 

objects to avoid collisions.
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it 

• 

until the desired mowing result is attained. 

The average lawn should be cut to 2½” (64 

mm) during the cool season and over 3” (76 

mm) during the hot months. For healthier 

and better looking lawns, mow often after 

moderate growth. 

For best cutting performance, grass over 6” 

(15 cm) in height should be mowed twice. 

Make the first cut relatively high; the second to 

the desired height.
The mowing result will be best with a high 

• 

engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and 

low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the 

grass is not too long and dense, the driving 

speed can be increased without negatively 

affecting the mowing result.
The finest lawns are obtained by mowing 

• 

often. The lawn becomes more even and the 

grass clippings more evenly distributed over 

the mown area. The total time taken is not 

increased as a higher operating speed can be 

used without poor mowing results.
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result 

• 

is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft 

lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings 

fasten under the cowling.
Hose the mower deck underside with water 

• 

after each use. When cleaning, the mower 

deck shall be raised into the transport 

position. Make sure the mower is cooled and 

the engine is off.
Use compressed air to clean top surface of 

• 

the deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface, 

engine and electrical components.
When the mulching kit is used, it is important 

• 

that the mowing interval is frequent.
