Heavy Growth
•
Take your time in heavy growth.
•
Be sure to keep uncut material to your
left, maintaining a clear discharge area to
your right (Figure 17).
•
If the machine cannot do it all in one
pass, overlap half of the cutting swath.
•
If the grass is very thick and heavy, try
raising the Trimmer Head off the ground
a few inches by pushing down on the
Handlebar. Cut the material at this
height, and then make a second pass
with the Mow-Ball
™
Support close to the
ground.
•
Ease the DR TRIMMER/MOWER into
denser growth. If the material is too
tough or woody to cut, the Cutting Cords
will wrap around it, wear down, or even
break off.
•
Sometimes the growth is so heavy, you
cannot mow it in rows. Use a forward
and back “vacuum cleaner” motion in
these cases.
Tips:
•
Use the “two pass”, one half overlap
method, whenever possible.
SELF-PROPELLED Model Tips:
•
In heavy growth it is best to make two (2)
passes at 1/2 the cutting width.
•
If you must go back and forth in the
“vacuum cleaner” motion, be sure to
release the Wheel Clutch Lever when
pulling the Trimmer back.
