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 cutting

swaths 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.
