Tips for Mowing Correctly

① Clear lawn of debris and foreign objects prior to each use. This prevents

the primary causes of damage to the cutting blades.

② If you hit something while mowing, always stop to inspect the blades for a

jam or damage. If a blade appears damaged, do not continue mowing

since forcing the cutting blade to rotate can cause more damage.

Instead, move the mower to an appropriate work area and follow the

instructions in the Care and Maintenance section on page 16.

③ In order to maintain a healthy lawn, be sure to mow weekly. If the grass

gets too high, be sure to set the mower to its 4 inch position and cut off a

smaller amount of grass first before adjusting the height to the lower

height setting.

④ When mowing high grass, be sure to use the Grass Management System

consisting of the oversized Grass Bag and Grass Deflector (Patents

Pending) to contain the grass clippings. Leaving behind excess grass

clippings that are too long can stress the lawn leaving it susceptible to

weeds, disease, and poor appearance.

⑤ When mulching is desired, remove the Grass Bag and adjust the position

of the Grass Deflector to its bottom position to direct the grass clippings

back down to the lawn. Be sure to cut 1 inch or less off the grass height

in order to receive the maximum mulching benefit. The smaller grass

clippings will help your lawn maintain moisture and help support a healthy

root system, acting as fertilizer for the lawn.

⑥ It is best to mow when the grass is dry. Cutting wet grass creates

clumps, which can accumulate on the lawn and damage it. If it is

necessary to mow when the grass is wet, be sure to use the Grass

Bag and pay extra care to safe mowing practices.

⑦ When operating the mower on a flat, dry lawn, it is best to walk

briskly to maximize the cutting performance since the cutting blades

will spin faster.

Note: DO NOT RUN AND MOW. This is a safety hazard.
