When and How Often to Mow
The time of day and condition of the grass greatly 

affect the results you’ll get when mowing.  For the 

best results, follow these guidelines:
 1.  Mow when the grass is between three and five 

inches high.

 2.  Mow with sharp blades.  Short clippings of grass 

one inch or shorter decompose more quickly than 
longer blades.  Sharp mower blades cut grass 
cleanly and efficiently, preventing frayed edges 
which harm the grass.

 3.  Mow at time of day when the grass is cool and 

dry.  Late afternoon or early evening often provide 
these ideal mowing conditions.

 4.  Avoid mowing after rain or even heavy dew.  

Never mulch when the grass is wet (moist grass 
does not mulch well and clumps beneath the 
mower deck).

Mowing Patterns
Always start mowing on a smooth, level area.
The size and type of area to be mowed will determine 

the best mowing pattern to use.  Obstructions such 

as trees, fences, buildings, and conditions such as 

slopes and grades must also be considered. 
 1.  Cut long straight strips overlapping slightly.
 2.  Whenever possible, change patterns to eliminate 

matting, graining, or a corrugated appearance.

 3.  For a truly professional cut, mow across the lawn 

in one direction, then recut the lawn by mowing 
perpendicular to the previous cut.

Proper Broadcast Mowing
Broadcasting (side discharging), disperses fine 

clippings evenly over the entire lawn.  Many golf 

courses use this method.  Your mower has a deep 

dish deck to allow freer circulation of clippings so they 

are broadcast evenly over the lawn.

ALWAYS operate the engine at full throttle when 

mowing.  
ALWAYS use an appropriate ground speed for the 

thickness and height of the grass you are cutting (3rd 

gear or slower for manual gear models).  If you hear 

the engine slowing down, you are mowing too fast, 

using a slower ground speed will improve the cutting 

efficiency of the blades and prevents many common 

cutting problems. 

Mow when the grass is 3-5 inches long.  Do NOT cut 

the grass shorter than 2 to 2-1/2 inches.  Do NOT cut 

off more that 1 inch of grass in a single pass.
