low speed, while thin medium grass can be cut at a faster ground speed. For cleaner
cuts and efficient mowing, the blades must be kept sharp

.
Under certain conditions, towing vehicle tires may roll some grass down and prevent it
from being cut at the same height as the surrounding area. If this occurs reduce the
towing vehicle ground speed. The lower ground speed will permit the grass to at least
partially rebound. Under some conditions grass will not rebound enough to be cut
evenly, resulting in an uneven appearance. In general, lower cutting height gives a more
even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks. If cut is still not satisfactory, cut the area
twice.
Mow extremely tall grass twice. On the first pass use a high cutting height. On the
second pass position the mower at the desired height and, when practical, mow at a
right angle in travel to the first pass.
It is better to cut grass more often, than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot
weather and invites weed growth during growing season.
Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible. The rear tires of the
mower are locked in the running position to help stabilize the mower on inclines.
DANGER: The mower blades can throw objects hundreds of feet which could
result in personal or property damage.
Pick up all rocks and other debris before mowing.
Enter new areas carefully. Cut grass higher at first, allowing mower to clear
hidden objects.
CAUTION: For emergency reasons learn how to stop the towing vehicle and
mower quickly. Stop mower engine, stop towing vehicle engine, lock parking
brake and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop before
dismounting the tractor.
3.09 - Uneven Terrain
DANGER: Be careful of rollover when operating towing vehicle and mower over
uneven ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire
ballast should be used to improve stability.
