gloves.

MX10528

•

On Models Without Cruise Control: Use the storage 

retainer (B) to hold an electronic device such as garage 
door opener.

•

Install front weights for added stability and steering 

control when you use equipment such as the rear-mounted 

grass bagger.

•

Install rear weights when using the snow blade or 

snowblower.

•

Remove weights when not required.

Tire chains are recommended for use with snowblower and 
snow blade.

See your Authorized Service Center for tire chains.

The following recommendations will produce the best lawn 
cut quality and appearance:

•

Keep mower blades sharp. Dull blades will tear grass; 

tips of grass will then turn brown.

•

Cutting grass too short may kill grass and let weeds 

grow easily.

•

Adjust cutting height to remove only 1/3 of the grass at a 

time.

•

Mow grass often. Short grass clippings will decay 

quickly.

•

Mow with engine at full throttle.

•

Adjust travel speed to match mowing conditions:

•

Travel at slow speed when you mow thick, tall grass, 

make sharp turns, trim around objects, or when 
mulching.

•

Travel at moderate speed when you mow thin grass.

•

Use a different mowing pattern each time you mow. 

Overlap mowing paths  50 to 100 mm (2 to 4 in). 

•

Drive over ridges and through shallow ditches straight-

on, not at an angle.

•

A thick layer of mulched leaves can prevent sunlight 

from getting to grass and smother it. Taller grass heights 
allow mulched leaves to dispense easier in lawn. Mulch 
leaves several times if needed.

•

Use a thatcher in late spring or summer to pull up dead 

grass and aerate ground.
