After Operating
To ensure optimum performance, clean the underside of the
mower housing after each use. If residue builds up in the
mower housing, cutting performance decreases.
Also, remove any debris which may have collected between
the deck-lift cylinders and the foam deck pads

Mower Deck Pitch
A blade pitch of 8 to 11 mm (5/16 to 7/16 inch) is
recommended. A pitch larger than 8 to 11 mm (5/16 to 7/16
inch) results in less power required, larger clippings, and a
poorer quality of cut. A pitch less than 8 to 11 mm (5/16 to
7/16 inch) results in more power required, smaller clippings
and a better quality of cut.
