COLD WEATHER STARTING (50°F/10°0 and below) 6. When engine starts, leave throttle control in choke position until engine warms up and begins to run roughly. Once rough running begins, immediately move the throttle control to the fast position. Engine warm-up may take from several seconds to several minutes (the colder the temperature, the longer the warm-up). o The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period, NOTE: if at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32°F/10°C) the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance (see "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" inthe Service and Adjustments section of this manual). MOWING TIPS • Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual. • The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming. • Drive sothat clippings are discharged onto tile area that has already been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the tractor. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. - When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns until finished. f 1 .-J 00272 • If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height. , Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps° Allow grass to dry before mowing. . Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired_ • When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used.
