lawn conditions. Walk slower (PDA). Release
the drive clutch lever (SDA)
and push slower (SDA, PDA).

Check cutting height
adjustment levers. Adjustment levers set at
different positions. Set all levers at the same
cutting height position (p. 11).
Check grass bag (if
equipped). Grass bag overfilled or
clogged. Empty the grass bag. Wash
the grass bag if clogged with
dirt (p. 33).

blade(s). Mower deck clogged. Clear out the mower deck
(p. 26).
Blade(s) dull, worn, or
damaged. Sharpen or replace blade(s) if
