MOWINGTIPS
MULCHING
• Under certain conditions, such as very
tall grass, it may be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing effort
and to keep from overloading the engine
and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It
may also be necessary to reduce
ground speed and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built-up grass and
trash. See "Cleaning" in Maintenance section
of this manual.
MOWING
.TIPS
• The spacial mulching blade will recutthe
grass clippingsmany limes and reduce
them in size so that as they fail onto the
lawn they will disperse intothe grass and
not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will
biodegrade quicldy to pro_de nutrientsfor
the lawn. Always mulch with your highest
engine (blade) speed as this will provide the
best recuttingaction of the blades.
• Avoid curlingyour lawn when it is wet. Wet
grass tends to form dumps and interferes
with the mulchingaction. The best time to
mow your lawn is the Party afternoon. At
this time the grass has dried and the newly
cut area will not be exposed to the direct
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut by overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most
cutting conditions, the engine speed
should be set in the fast position.
• When using a rear discharge lawn
mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of
cut grass may not enter the grass
catcher. Reduce ground speed (pushing speed) and/or run the lawn mower
over the area a second time.
sun.
• If a trail of clippings is left on the right
side of a rear discharge mower, mow in
a clockwise direction with a small
overlap to collect the clippings on the
next pass.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
become filled with dirt and dust with use
and catchers will collect less grass. To
prevent this, regularly hose catcher off
with water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and extend
engine life.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts
off only the top one-third of the grass blades.
If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary
to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from overloading the
engine and leaving clumps of mulched
grass. For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce yourwidth of cut by overlapping
previously cut path and mow slewly.
• Certain typas of grass and grass conditions
may requirethat an area be mulched a
seceed tJrneto complately hide the
cl'q0pings.Whan doing a second cut, mow
across or perpendicular to the first cut path.
• Change your curlingpattern from week to
week. Mow north to south one week then
change to east to west the next week. This
w_llhelp prevent matting and graining of the
lawn.

to remove build-up of grass and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating. A dogged engine runs hotter
and shortens engine life.
• Keep finishedsurfaces and wheels free of
all gasoline, oil,etc.
• We do not recommend using a garden
hose to clean lawn mower unless the
electricalsystem, muffler, air filter and
carburetor are covered to keep water out.
Water in engine can resultin shortened
engine life.

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is importantto prevent gum
deposits from forming in essant'Blfuel system
parts such as carburetor,f fuel filter, fuel bose
or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicatesthat alcohol blended fuels ( called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
• Drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run untilthe fuel
lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
productsin the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer container. Run engine
at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer to reach the
carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and
carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
