OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

GRASS HEIGHT AND CUTTING SUGGESTIONS:

Do not attempt to cut grass when it is wet.

If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height

lever in the top or second notch. “Initially” overlap

cuttingswaths instead of a full swath with each pass.

Some applications may require a second cutting.

Keep the underside of the mower deck clean.

Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting

season.

As a rule of thumb, never cut off more than 1/3 of

the total grass blade length. Correct mowing height

can reduce weeds and disease by 50% to 80%.

The following grass cut heights are based an

adequate moisture conditions and normal thatch

buildup in a healthy lawn. Some locations and

applications may require slightly different cut heights.

If in doubt, consult your local lawn professional for

assistance.
