•

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 2 1/2" 
(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 the 
top surface of the deck, engine, and 
electrical components.

•

When the mulching kit is used, it is 
important that the mowing interval is 
frequent.
