Mowing Tips Cut grass when it is dry. Keep mower blades sharp. Do not set cutting height too low. For tall grass, mow twice. Do not mow too fast. Mow with engine at full throttle. Discharge clippings into areas already cut. Vary cutting pattern with each mowing. NOTICE: To prevent dirt and grass from collecting on mower pan, avoid operating over bare ground with only patches of grass. Mulching Tips For best mulching performance, cut no more than 1 inch (2.54 cm) of grass per cutting. EN - 16
