Mowing a long-grass lawn
Do not try to cut long grass all at once. Instead, mow
the lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between mowings
until the lawn becomes evenly short.
► Fig.27
NOTE: Mowing long grass to a short length all at
once may cause the grass to die. The cut grass may
also block up inside of the mower body.
