Operating Tips

Using the Fast Throttle Setting
For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate
the engine at the F
thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the
height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower
deck in uncut grass. Always try to have 1 side of the
mower deck free from uncut grass, which allows air
to be drawn into the mower deck.
Cutting a Lawn for the First Time
Cut grass slightly longer than normal to ensure that
the cutting height of the mower deck does not scalp
any uneven ground. However, the cutting height
used in the past is generally the best one to use.
When cutting grass longer than 15 cm (6 inches) tall,
you may want to cut the lawn twice to ensure an
acceptable quality of cut.
Cutting a Third of the Grass Blade
It is best to cut only about a third of the grass blade.
Cutting more than that is not recommended unless
grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows
more slowly.
Alternating the Mowing Direction
Alternate the mowing direction to keep the grass
standing straight. This also helps disperse clippings,
which enhances decomposition and fertilization.
