USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
For best results do not cut wet grass because it tends
to stick to underside of the mower thus preventing
proper discharge of grass clippings. If wet grass must
be cut reduce walking speed to help distribute the
clippings more effectively.
New grass should be treated as wet grass, otherwise
a Normal walking speed is about the right pace for
efficient mowing.
The best mowing pattern is one that allows the clip
pings to discharge towards the uncut part of the lawn.
This permits recutting of the clippings to further pul
verize them. When cutting high weeds, discharge to
wards cut portion then recut at right angles to first
direction.
Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is
growth.
