Blade sharpness will affect the ap-
pearance of the area cut. Dull or
damaged blades will cause
the grass to appear torn, rather than
cut cleanly.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short
grass will promote weed growth and
yellows in dry weather.
Allow grass to grow longer in hot,
dry conditions. The additional length
reduces heat build-up, preserves
needed moisture and protects the
grass from heat damage.
Mow often. Do not allow the grass
to get too tall. Mowing areas with
tall grass may require primary cut-
ting at the maximum height. After
completing the mowing operation at
the maximum height, the area can
be recut with the mower set at the
desired height.
8. OPERATION(2)
Make sure Deflector Chute is
installed and correctly function-
ing to prevent injury.
Never operate mower with chute
removed or raised out of operat-
ing position.
To avoid injury never direct the
discharge of material towards
bystanders or allow anyone
near the machine while in op-
eration.

WARNING
To avoid injury and damage, re-
torque all fastening hardware,
including blades end spindle
retaining hardware after the rst
hour of operation.

CAUTION
At certain times of the year and
under some conditions, the mower
may leave streaks of uncut grass.
The general cause is tall grass and
weeds. With this type of condition,
it may be necessary to make a sec-
ond pass over the cut area to get an
even cut.
Cutting off too much at one time
shocks the plant's growth system
and weakens the grass plants.
A good guideline to follow is the 1/3
rule: cut no more than one third of
the grass height, and never more
than 1 inch at a time.
Mow when the grass is 3 to 4 inches
tall.
The time of day and condition of the
grass will affect the results you ob-
tain when mowing.
Mow at the time of day when the
grass is cool and dry. Late afternoon
or early evening will provide the
most ideal conditions.
