• The left riand =ide of mower should be used for trim­
ming.
• Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
tractor. This will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting.
• When me wir.g large areas, start by turning to the right
so that clippings“v^il* discharge away from shrubs,
fences driveways, etc After one or two rounds, mow
in the opposite direction making left hand turns until
finished (See Fig 10).
» jiass IS extiemely tall, it should be mowed twice to
mduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip­
pings. . Make first cut relatively high; the second to the
desired height.
• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug
mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to
dry before mowing.
