Cutting Width

For an even lawn finish, overlap

each mowing swath by a few

inches. If the grass is very tall or

thick, use more overlap and a

narrower mowing swath.

Blade Speed

The blade must spin very fast to

cut properly. Always use the

FAST throttle setting, and keep

the engine running at maximum

rpm.

If engine speed drops, that

means the blade is trying to cut

too much grass. Mow a

narrower swath, move the

mower more slowly, or raise the

cutting height.

Blade Sharpness

TROlTLE LEVER

Sharp blades cut cleanly. Dull blades tear the grass, leaving

shredded ends that turn brown.

When your blade(s) doesn’t cut cleanly anymore, have it

sharpened or replaced (see page 58).

Dry Grass

If the ground is too dry, mowing will stir up a lot of dust. Besides

being unpleasant to work in, too much dust will clog the

carburetor air filter.

If dust is a problem, water your lawn the day before mowing.

Mow when the grass is dry to your touch, but the soil is still moist.

Wet Gr,ass

Wet grass is slippery and can make you lose your footing. Also,

wet grass clippings will clog the mower deck and collect in

clumps on the lawn. Always wait for wet grass to dry before

mowing.
