MOWING TIPS
Cutting Height
Cutting Width
For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by approximate 10cm. If
the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a narrower mowing swath.
Blade Speed
The blades must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the HIGH throttle
setting and keep the engine running at maximum rpm. If the engine speed
drops, it could mean the engine is being overloaded by the blades trying to cut
too much grass. Mow a narrower swath, move the mower slower, or raise the
cutting height.
Consult a local nursery or lawn and
garden centre for cutting height
recommendations and advice about
specific types of grasses and growing
conditions in your area.
If you look closely, you’ll see that
most grass has stems and leaves. If
you cut off the leaves, you’ll scalp the
lawn. Let the grass recover between
mowing. 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.
