USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
For best results do not cut wet grass because it tends to
stick to the 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 effi
cient 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
towards cut portion then recut at right angle to first di
rection.
Lawns should be cut in fall as long as there is growth.
