Mowing Tips 
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.
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other 
objects that can be thrown out by the 
blades.

slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow 
slopes up and down, never side

changes.
