For best results it is recommended that
the first two laps should be cut with the
discharge thrown towards the center.
After the first two laps, reverse the direc-
tion to throw the discharge to the outside
for the balance of cutting. This will give a
better appearance to the lawn.
Do not cut the grass too short, as the
mower will tend to scalp the grass.
Short grass invites weed growth and
yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should be done with the
engine at full throttle. Do not mow at
high ground speed.
During certain times of the year and
under some conditions, the mower
may leave streaks of uncut grass.

Streaking may occur when attempting
to mow heavy weeds and tall grass.
Under these conditions it may be
necessary to go back over the cut
area a second time to get a clean cut.
The
following
practices
eliminate streaking:
• Mow the area more often so the
grass doesn't get too tall and heavy.
• Operate the tractor at full throttle
and slower forward speeds.
• Keep the blades sharp and replace
the blades when worn.
If additional adjustment is desired,
remount the seat as follows:
Flip the seat forward and remove the
four screws fastening the seat to the
seat hinge brackets.
Remount the seat on the hinge brack-
ets as follows (See Figure 15):
• Seat forward-use front two holes.
• Seat middle-use middle two holes.
• Seat rearward-use rear two holes
