Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in poor collection. Do Not Overload Your Mower Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. You may find it necessary to try different cutting heights to find out which setting will achieve the best stripe on your lawn. The ability of the lawnmower to produce an effective stripe will depend on the grass type and condition.
