SECTION 11: MOWING
For best results, consider the following recommendations:
• Mow the first two laps with the discharge pointing toward the center.
• Mow the next two laps with the discharge pointing outside (away from center) for a balanced cut and
improved appearance.
• Do not cut grass too short. The mower tends to "scalp" the grass. Shorter grass invites weeds and will
yellow quickly in dry conditions.
During some conditions, the mower may leave streaks of uncut material. Streaking can happen when cutting
heavy weeds and tall grass. In these conditions it may be necessary to cut the area a second time for a clean cut.
AVOIDING STREAKING
1.
Mow the area often; cutting grass of shorter lengths helps to avoid streaks.
2.
Operate the Z-series at full throttle and at a slower forward speed.
3.
Maintain sharp blades and replace when worn.
4.
Follow the mowing path shown below. (See Figure 29)
