Operation
•
•
•
•
•
Sharpen the blade.
Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
Cut grass more frequently.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Wet grass or leaves can cause you to slip
and contact blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Blade contact can seriously injure you.
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Mow only in dry conditions.
•
Set height-of-cut on front wheels one notch
lower than rear wheels. (example: set front
wheels at 2 inch (51 mm) setting and rear wheels
at 2.5 inch (64 mm) setting)
•
•
•
•
Set engine speed to fastest position. Maximum
horsepower provides best cutting results.
Clean clippings or leaves from underside of
mower deck after each mowing.

cover. This may require one or more passes over
the leaves.
Clean air filter more frequently. Cutting and
recutting stirs up more clippings and dust which
clogs the air filter and reduces engine
performance.
•
•
For light leaf coverage, position all wheels at the
same height-of-cut setting.
Walk at a slower mowing speed if leaves are not
being cut up finely enough to be hidden down in
the grass.

of the year. In the heat of summer, it is generally

best to cut grass at the 2, 2.5 or 3 inch (51,!64,3
74
mm) height-of-cut settings. Only about / of
the grass blade should be cut off. Cutting below
the 2 inch (51 mm) setting is not recommended
unless grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass
growth begins to slow down.
•
•
When cutting grass over six inches tall, you may
want to first mow using the highest height-of-cut
setting and a slower walking speed; then mow
again at a lower setting for best lawn appearance.
If grass is too long and leaves clumps on top of
lawn, mower may plug and cause engine to stall.
Alternate mowing direction. This helps disperse
clippings over lawn for even fertilization.
If the finished cut lawn appearance is unsatisfactory,
try one or more of the following:
