Operating Tips
Using the Fast Throttle Setting
For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate
the engine at the F
thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the
height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower
in uncut grass. Always try to have 1 side of the mower
free from uncut grass, which allows air to be drawn
into the mower.
Cutting a Lawn for the First Time
Cut grass slightly longer than normal to ensure that
the cutting height of the mower does not scalp any
uneven ground. However, the cutting height used in
the past is generally the best one to use. When cutting
grass longer than 15 cm (6 inches) tall, you may want
to cut the lawn twice to ensure an acceptable quality
of cut.
Cutting a Third of the Grass Blade
It is best to cut only about a third of the grass blade.
Cutting more than that is not recommended unless
grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows
more slowly.
