underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The
recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be
dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds
in order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade
another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping
the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated
at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing. Clean the underside of deck. Be certain to
clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Mowing

laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.
WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for
any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during
operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
