29OPERATING THE MOWER
ENGLISH
OPERATING THE MOWER
MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR MOWER
1. When using your mower for the first time, choose a
smooth level area and cut in straight and slightly
overlapping strips.
2. The size and type of the area to be mowed will
determine the proper mowing pattern. Take into
account obstructions, such as trees, fences and
buildings.
3. Most lawns should be mowed to keep the grass
approximately 50 to 80 mm high. Best results are
obtained by cutting often and not too short. To keep a
green lawn, never mow more than one third of the
height of the grass or a maximum of 25 mm in one
mowing.
For extremely tall grass, set the cutting height at
maximum cutting height for the first mowing, then
reset to the desired height and mow again. Allow the
grass to grow to 80 mm, then cut off only the top inch.
4. For best appearance, grass should be cut in the
afternoon or evening when it is free of moisture.
To avoid serious injury or death:
A Do not operate mower without Grass Catcher.
To avoid serious injury:
A Clear the work area of objects which might be
picked up and thrown by blades.
A Keep bystanders and animals away from the
mowing area.
A Be sure to disengage the PTO and sit on the
operator's seat before starting the engine.
