MULCHING IVIOWnNG TiPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-up grass
and trash. Clean after each use.
o The special mulching blade will recut
the grass clippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into the
grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade quickly
to provide nutrients for' the lawno
Always mulch with your highest engine
(blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blades.
o Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action. The
best time to mow your lawn is the early
afternoon. At this time the grass has
dried and the newly cut area will not be
exposed to the direct sun.
o For best results, adjust the mower cut-
ting height so that the mower cuts off
only the top one-third of the grass
blades, For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass
and mow slowly,
Max 1/3
o Certain types of grass and grass condi-
tions may require that an area be
mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings° When doing a sec-
ond cut, mow across or perpendicular to
the first cut path.
, Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. Mow north to south one week
then change to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting
and graining of the lawn_
