Wet Grass
Wet grass is slippery and can make you lose your footing. Also, wet
grass clippings will clog the mower deck and collect in clumps on the
lawn. Always wait for wet grass to dry before mowing.
Fallen Leaves
When equipped with the grass bag (optional for HRS, HRR models),
your mower can be used to pick up fallen leaves for disposal. If using
the mower to bag large amounts of fallen leaves, and not for mowing,
set the cutting height adjustment levers so the front of the mower
deck is one or two settings higher than the rear.
If you want to mulch fallen leaves into your lawn, don’t let the leaf
cover get too deep before you begin. For best results, start mulching
while grass still shows through the leaf cover. In places where fallen
leaves completely cover the grass, remove the leaves by raking, or
install a grass bag, so your mower can pick them up for disposal.
Clogged Mower Deck
Before clearing a clogged mower deck, stop the engine and turn the
fuel valve to the OFF position. With the spark plug cap disconnected, tilt
the mower so the carburetor side is up.
Clear a clogged deck with a stick, not your hands.
