Uneven Terrain

Pre-plan mowing over uneven terrain so the

grass will be dry, minimizing wheel slippage

and spinning, which will damage the turf.

Before mowing, check the area to determine

the best procedure. Consider the grass type

and height, and the type of uneven terrain on

which the mowing is to take place.

Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling

up or down incline, and slow the ground

speed while turning.

Grass Discharge

The mower deck has been designed to

provide maximum air flow for an even

discharge of grass clippings. When mowing

tall, or lush grasses, select a lower mower

ground speed, or reduce the width of cut, for

the best discharge efficiency.

For the best lawn appearance, do not mow

when the grass is wet or heavy with dew. Wet

grass could plug the discharge area of the

mower, create an unnatural load on the

blades and spindles, and damage the mower

deck belt. Wet grass will also leave unsightly

clumps on the lawn.

If the mower deck becomes clogged, back

the unit out of the uncut grass. If the mower

will not clear itself, raise the deck, shut off the

engine, set the brake, remove the ignition key

and clean the bottom of the deck.

In medium and heavy cutting conditions, mow

so the discharged clippings will be AWAY

from the uncut grass. In light cutting,

discharged clippings can be directed onto the

uncut grass, allowing them to be recut finer.

Tips For Efficient Mowing

Mowing blades should be checked regularly

and kept sharp to ensure the best lawn

appearance.

Best results occur normally when the grass is

maintained at a height of 2–3 inches (50–

80mm). It is best to cut the grass often and

not too short. To keep a healthy green lawn,

do not cut more than 1/3 of the overall grass

blade height.

Mower engine speed while mowing should be

at the maximum rated RPM. This will ensure

proper blade speed for effective cutting and

discharge of grass clippings.

Travel speed greatly affects mowing

performance. Always use a lower ground

speed for slower mowing, rather than

lowering the engine RPM.

Mow often. Do not wait for the grass to get

too tall. Short grass clippings will disperse

better and deteriorate faster.

Mowing areas with tall grass or weeds may

require cutting at maximum height of cut.

After mowing once, recut the entire area with

the mower reset to the desired final height of

cut.

WARNING: To avoid the loss of

control and to prevent overturning

the mower, always across slopes,

never up and down.

Pass diagonally through sharp

dips. Avoid sharp drop offs

completely to prevent the mower

from becoming hung up.

Keep the power unit steering

control levers forward when going

downhill.

WARNING: NEVER operate the

mower with the discharge shield

in the raised position.

CAUTION: Clear the area of

people, pets, and all visible

debris before beginning mowing

operations.
