MOWING TIPS
•   Tire chains cannot be used when the 
mower hous ing is attached to trac tor.
•   Mower should be properly leveled for 
best mowing performance.  See “TO 
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in the 
Service and Adjustments section of this 
manual.
•   The left hand side of mower should be 
used for trim ming.
•   Drive so that clippings are dis charged 
onto the area that has already been 
cut.  Have the cut area to the right of 
the tractor.  This will result in a more 
even dis tri bu tion of clippings and more 
uniform cutting.
•   When mowing large areas, start by 
turning to the right so that clippings will 
discharge away from shrubs, fences, 
driveways, etc.  After one or two rounds, 
mow in the opposite direction making 
left hand turns until fi nished .
•   If grass is extremely tall, it should be 
mowed twice to reduce load and pos-
sible fi re hazard from dried clip pings.  
Make fi rst cut relatively high; the second 
to the desired height.
•   Do not mow grass when it is wet.  
Wet grass will plug mower and leave 
undesirable clumps.  Allow grass to dry 
before mowing.
•   Always operate engine at full throt tle 
when mowing to assure better mowing 
performance and prop er dis charge of 
material.  Reg u late ground speed by 
se lect ing a low enough speed to give 
the mower cut ting per for mance as well 
as the quality of cut desired.
•   When operating attachments, se lect a 
ground speed that will suit the terrain 
and give best performance of the at-
 tach ment being used.
