MOWING TIPS
Which Blade?
Grasses and lawn conditions vary greatly, so these models can use 
various combinations of standard and accessory blades. Use this 
blade application guide to help determine which blade(s) are best 
suited for your lawn. For more information about blades, see page 58.
* Always use an upper and lower blade on HRR models
When to Mow
Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown ½ to 1 inch 
above their recommended height. More frequent mowing is required 
for mulching than for bagging. For best mulching results, you may 
need to mow the lawn twice a week during the growing season.
Cutting Height
Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden center for cutting height 
recommendations and advice about specific types of grasses and 
growing conditions in your area.
Most grass has stems and leaves. If you cut off the leaves, you’ll scalp 
the lawn. Let the grass recover between mowings. Your mower will 
work better, and your lawn will look better.
If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height 
setting, then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don’t take off more than one 
third of total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches may 
develop. Cutting height adjustment is explained on page 11.
