MOWING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
TRAGIC ACCIDENTS CAN OCCUR IF THE
OPERATOR IS NOT ALERT TO THE
PRESENCE OF CHILDREN. CHILDREN
ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO THE
MACHINE AND THE MOWING ACTIVITY.
NEVER ASSUME THAT CHILDREN WILL
REMAIN WHERE YOU LAST SAW THEM.
Mowing conditions will vary from place to place,
including the types of grass which are being mowed,
such as fine stalk, coarse stalk, dense or sparse
grasses. When mowing tal! grass you may find that the
pressure of wheel tracks may cause certain grasses to
be pushed downward and will not be mowed properly. If
this condition exists you may have to mow the area
twice, the first mowing with the mower raised and the
second mowing at the normal height that you have
chosen. If it is practical, better results will be found if
the second mowing is at right angle in travel to the
previous mowing.
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug
mower and leave undesirable clumps, allow grass to
dry before mowing.
Always operate mower engine at full throttle when
mowing to assure better mowing performance and
proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by
selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
performance as well as the quality of cut desired.
When operating any attachment select a ground
speed that wills suit the terrain and give best
performance of the attachment being used.
CAUTION: NEVER CARRY CHILDREN.
THEY MAY FALL OFF AND BE
SERIOUSLY INJURED OR INTERFERE
WITH SAFE OPERATION.
Mowing should be started with tractor in low gear and
speed increased only as mowing conditions will safely
permit.
Mower will perform at its best when engine throttle is
set for full throttle.
Better mowing results will be obtained in grassy areas
if they are mowed when the grass is approximately 4" to
5" maximum height. While your mower will cut grass
taller than 5", you will experience a substantial
increasing in horsepower required and some change in
the finished appearance of the area mowed.
