Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass is
too long or lush it may be necessary to keep ground
speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width to pre-
vent clogging. If grass is high, operate with mower in
high cutting position. Cut the grass again in lower cutting
position, if desired.
Cover
The cover can be rinsed with a hose when dirty. A dirty
