MOWING PROCEDURE
The key to successful electric lawn mowing is a system-
atic approach to cutting. Take a few moments to plan your
first cut using the principles described herein. After one or
two uses you will find the easiest way of cutting your own
lawn.
1. Lay cord on ground near outlet in neat, loose coils. It
is important to arrange cord systematically to avoid
annoying loops and knots.
2. Starting at point nearest electrical outlet, move back
and forth across lawn.
3. Each lawn is different and may have trees, shrubs, and
other obstructions that may require a different mowing
procedure. A little experimenting will enable you to
choose the easiest method of handling the cord on
your lawn.

(A) on the catcher is raised

(Fig. 4A)
2. Open the rear catcher door
(B). (Fig. 4B)

TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR POWER
MOWER AND YOUR LAWN
•
Lawn should first be mowed in the spring when the
grass is about 2-1/2” to 3” (6.4cm to 7.6cm) high.
Mowing too early restricts the grass root systems
which renew themselves every spring. New grass
should be clipped lightly when it is about 2-1/2”
(6.4cm).
•
Mow your lawn when it is dry, to avoid clumping of wet
grass. If you have a choice, late afternoon is the ideal
time for mowing, not only because the grass is dry, but
also because the sensitive new cut area of the grass
will not be exposed to direct sun light.
