English- 32OPERATIONMowing Tips• Observe and flag rocks and other fixedobjects to avoid collisions.• Begin with a high cutting height andreduce it until the desired mowing resultis attained.The average lawn should be cut to 2 1/2"(64 mm) during the cool season and over3" (76 mm) during the hot months. Forhealthier and better looking lawns, mowoften after moderate growth.For best cutting performance, grass over6" (15 cm) in height should be mowedtwice. Make the first cut relatively high;the second to the desired height.• The mowing result will be best with ahigh engine speed (the blades rotaterapidly) and low speed (the rider movesslowly). If the grass is not too long anddense, the driving speed can beincreased without negatively affectingthe mowing result.• The finest lawns are obtained by mowingoften. The lawn becomes more even andthe grass clippings more evenlydistributed over the mown area. The totaltime taken is not increased as a higheroperating speed can be used withoutpoor mowing results.• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowingresult is poorer because the wheels sinkinto the soft lawn, clumps build, and thegrass clippings fasten under the cowling.• Hose the mower deck underside withwater after each use. When cleaning, themower deck shall be raised into thetransport position. Make sure the moweris cooled and the engine is off.• Use compressed air to clean top surfaceof the deck.
