USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
■ the best results do not cut wet grass because it
ids to stick to the underside of the mower, thus pre-
¿nting proper discharge of grass clippings. If wet
grass must be cut, reduce walking speed to help dis­
tribute the clippings more effectively.
New grass should be treated as wet grass, otherwise
a normal walking speed is about the right pace for
efficient mowing.
The best mowing pattern is one that allows the clip­
pings to discharge towards the uncut part of the lawn.
This permits recutting of the clippings to further pul­
verize them. When cutting high weeds, discharge to­
wards cut portion then recut at right angles to first di­
rection.
Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is
growth.
