Meen Green MGP-20 Owner's Manual - page 19
mow the lawn twice to achieve a better quality of cut.
During normal mowing cut only about 1/3 of the grass
blade. Cutting more than that is not recommended unless grass
is sparse or it is the end of the mowing season.
Alternate mowing direction to keep the grass growing
straight and better dispersion of the clippings.
Remember, grass grows at different rates at different times
of the year. Mow more often in the early spring to maintain the
same cutting height. As the growth rate slows in mid summer,
mow less frequently. If you cannot mow at a regular interval,
mow at a high cutting height; then mow again two days later at a
lower cutting height.
Raise the cutting height of the mower if the cutting width of
the mower is wider than the previous mower. This ensures that
uneven turf is not cut too short.
Raise the cutting height of the mower if the grass if slightly
taller than normal or if it contains a high degree of moisture.
Then mow it again with the cutting height set lower.
WARNING: Never direct discharge of material from
mower deck towards bystanders. Do not operate the
mower without the discharge chute (with side discharge models).
