MOWING PATTERN & TIPS
For the first use of the mower choose a smooth level area.
Cut long straight strips overlapping slightly.
The size and type of area to be mowed determine the best
mowing pattern to use. Obstructions such as trees, fences
and buildings must also be considered. Where possible,
make one or two passes in a clockwise direction around the
outside of the area to keep cut grass off fences and walks.
The remainder of the mower should be done in a
counterclockwise direction so the clippings are dispersed on
the cut area.
Where possible, keep the left side of the mower toward trees,
posts, or other obstacles on the first pass around the
obstacles to keep hand trimming to a minimum.
On moderate size, frequently mowed lawns where grass is
light and dry, it is sometimes practical to mow in a clockwise
direction so clippings are thrown toward the center of the
lawn and concentrated for pickup and removal.
Most lawns should be mowed to keep the grass
approximately two to three inches (50 to 76 mm) high. Best
results are obtained by cutting often and not to short. To help
keep a green lawn, never mow more than one third off the
height of the grass, or a maximum of one inch 925 mm), in
one mowing. For extremely tall grass, set the cutting height
at maximum for the first pass, and then reset to the desired
height and mow again.
On thick, or springy grass or soft ground, the mower roilers
may sink into the ground giving too low a cut. Adjust the
cutting height as necessary. For best appearance, grass
should be cut in the afternoon or early evening (in dayiight)
where it is free of external moisture.
Where possibie, change patterns occasionaily to eliminate
matting, graining or a corrugated appearance.
