GRASSf_ CATCHER Never attempt to operate mower without grass catcher, side discharge chute or mulching plug properly in place. FIGURE 13 10 TABS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS i For best results, use the following tips when mowing. When mowing, cut only 1/3 of grass height. Cutting grass shorter could be harmful to your lawn. If cutting extremely tall grass, make one cutting with the deck in its highest cutting position, then lower deck to desired position and cut a second time. Mow when lawn is dry. Mow often. Shorter grass clippings decompose quicker. Keep mower blades sharp. A dull blade tears and shreds grass instead of cutting. Your SNAPPER dealer/retailer can sharpen blades as required. Alternate mowing pattern to reduce the possibility of grass matting. Mow with engine speed control in the "RUN" position and the ground speed lever in a slow forward speed. Clean deck, removing all grass clippings and debris from the top and underside of deck after each use. Below is a list of popular accessories for the SNAPPER Walk Behind Mowers.
