Mowing Tips
• Observe and flag rocks and other fixed objects to
avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it
until the desired mowing result is attained. The
average lawn should be cut to 64 mm during
the cool season and over 76 mm during the hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often after moderate growth. For best cutting
performance, grass over 15 cm in height should
be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high,
the second to the desired height.
• The mowing result will be best with a high engine
speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed
(the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not
too long and dense, the driving speed can be
increased without negatively affecting the mowing
result.
• The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often.
The lawn becomes more even and the grass
clippings more evenly distributed over the mown
area. The total time taken is not increased as a
higher operating speed can be used without poor
mowing results.
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is
poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn,
clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten
under the cowling.
• Hose the mower deck underside with water after
each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall
be raised into the transport position. Make sure
the mower is cooled and the engine is off.
• Use compressed air to clean top surface of the
deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface, engine
and electrical components.
• When the mulching kit is used, it is important that
the mowing interval is frequent.
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other
objects that can be thrown out by the
blades.
