To change from gne cutting height to another
slide handle out of notch and move lever to

heights place the lift on trac- tor in the roised
position. Pefer to the tractor operators

be no more than 1/ of fhe height of the grass
Defore it is cut. Tall grass will have to be cut
twice for best results. CUTTING SPEED For best
mowing results, it is important that blades be
run at maximum speeÖ. Set engine speed control in
FAST position, thus providing proper blade speed
and maximum engine horsepower. Engage the

GltASS DISCMABGE This mower was designed to
provide a strong discharge to scatter clippings
and prevent clogging in heavy cufiings. When
cutting lush, thick. fall or wet grassshift toa
slow ground speed setting and/or reduce width of
cut to prevent possible beltdamoge.FOf?
BESTCUTTING DONOTMOWWHENGRASSIS WET. Wet grass
will cause clogging and produce
unsightly clumpings on lown. WARNtMG To ovold
personal In)ury fzom mrown objects, keep
dlachorge guord down ond secure ot
CUTING PATTERNS 1. Cut counterclockwise poftems,
to dischorge grass int alreoÖy CL t OFeZS Fig.
2.2A).
2. Changing directionwastestime.Plan to keep
mower mov- ing fcxword as much as possible Fig.
2.2A left).
3. Plan for the longest straight runs that are
possible Fig. 2.2A left). 4. Save the close
trimming for the end. Sometimes it is easier to
divide a large irregular shaped area into smaller
sections Fig. 2.2A center) to keep the rrower
working more steadiIy or to keep from reversing,
turning or repealing too often. 6. In a small
area, where tight turns would cause lost time in
the center if the normal round and round
methocls wee used, try the cufting method in Fig.
2.2A right. Make the second possdownthe
centerofthe area rather than dcwn fhe opposite
side from fhe pass. 1is allows you to swing
wideattheend of each pass and still cutallthe
grasswith a minimum of reversing.
IMPORTANT Ie underside of mower deck should
beclean- ed out(sprayedwithwoter)oftereochcuttingw
iththeengine stopped and blades not rotating. In
medium and heavy cuttings plan your mowing to
dis- charge clippings away fiom uncut grass. If
mower becomes clogged. back unit out of uncut
grass and try to clear deck by engaging the
P.T.O. with the deck in the highest position. If
deck does not clear itself turn engine off and
wait for all movement to stop. remove spark plug
wires) from spark plug(s) before cleaning
underside of deck with a stick or scraper. If
grass build-up is excessive remove mower from
tractor and clean underside of deck thoroughly.
