For light leaf coverage, position all wheels at the
same height-of-cut setting.
If there are more than five inches of leaves on
lawn, set the front wheels one or two notches
higher than the rear wheels. This makes it easier
to feed leaves under mower deck.
Walk at a slower mowing speed if leaves are not
being cut up finely enough to be hidden down in
the grass.
If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, you might want
to add lime to your grass in the spring. Lime
reduces the acidity of oak leaves.
