MOWING
TIPS
. Tire chains
cannot
be used when the
mower housing is attached to tractor.
. Mower should be properly leveled for best
mowing
performance.
See "TO LEVEL
MOWER
HOUSING"
in the Service and
Adjustments
section of this manual.
• The left hand side of mower should
be
used for trimming.
. Drive so that clippings are discharged onto
the area that has already been cut. Have
the cut area to the right of the tractor. This
will result in a more even distribution
of
clippings and more uniform cutting.
• When mowing large areas, start by turning
to the right so that clippings will discharge
away from shrubs,
fences,
driveways,
etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction making left hand turns
until finished.

,
If grass
is extremely
tall,
it should
be
mowed
twice to reduce
load and possible
fire
hazard
from
dried
clippings.
Make
first cut relatively
high; the second
to the
desired
height.
, Do not mow
grass
when
it is wet.
Wet
grass will plug mower
and leave
undesir-
able
clumps.
Allow
grass
to dry before
mowing.
. Always
operate
engine
at full
throttle
when
mowing
to
assure
better
mow-
ing
performance
and
proper
discharge
of material.
Regulate
ground
speed
by
selecting
a low enough
speed
to give the
mower
cutting
performance
as well as the
quality
of cut desired.
• When
operating
attachments,
select
a
ground
speed
that will suit the terrain
and
give best performance
of the attachment
being
used.
