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.
