Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips• Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and
other debris that the blade could hit.• Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.• If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire fromthe spark plug, and examine the mower for damage.
• For best performance, install a new blade before thecutting season begins.
• Replace the blade when necessary with a Lawn-Boyreplacement blade.
10
Cutting Grass• Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do
not cut below the 2 inch (51 mm) setting unless thegrass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth beginsto slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.
• When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall, mowat the highest cutting height setting and walk slower;then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawnappearance. If the grass is too long, the mower mayplug and cause the engine to stall.
• Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tendto clump on the yard and can cause the mower to plugor the engine to stall.
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury ifyou slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dryconditions.
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse theclippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
• If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try oneor more of the following:
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
– Raise the cutting height on your mower.
– Cut the grass more frequently.
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a fullswath with each pass.
– Set the cutting height on the front wheels onenotch lower than the rear wheels. For example, setthe front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the rearwheels at 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).
Cutting Leaves• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn
shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need tomake more than one pass over the leaves.
• If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves on thelawn, set the front cutting height one or two notcheshigher than the rear cutting height.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does notcut the leaves finely enough.
11
MaintenanceNote: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
