It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
2.
3. The blades must be in good condition and well sharpened
so that the grass is cut straight without a ragged edge that
leads to yellowing at the ends.
The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp

cut of the grass and to get the necessary thrust to push the
cuttings through the collector channel.
5. The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of
growth of the grass. The grass should not be left to grow
too much between one cut and the next.
6. During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little
higher to prevent the ground from drying out.
7. The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is approx.
4-5 cm. With one cut, you do not need to remove more than
a third of the
total height. If
the grass is
very tall, it
should be cut
twice in a
twenty-four
hour period -
the first time
with the
blades at
maximum
height, possibly reducing the cutting width, and the second
cut at the desired height.
8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate
cutting in both directions.
9. If the collector system tends to get blocked with grass, you
should reduce the forward speed as it may be too high for
the condition of the grass. If the problem persists, the prob-
able causes are either badly sharpened blades or deformed
wings.
10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs as
these could distort the horizontal position of the cutting
deck and damage its edge as well as the blades.
