Mowing Tips

 Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and
other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades
or motor. Do not mow over property stakes or other metal
posts. Such objects could damage the blade or be acci-
dentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
 For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the
total length of the grass.
 When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
