OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOWING WITH A MULCHING ATTACHMENT:
Mulching or recycling the grass clippings requires a
totally different mowing approach than would be normal
when side discharging or bagging the grass. There may
be instances or conditions where it is not possible to hide
all of the recycled or mulched clippings.
In order to achieve the best results, please read and
follow the mulching tips listed below:
1. Set the engine speed control to the wide open or full
setting.
2. Place the mower deck cut height selector in either the
top or second notch. Never cut more than 3/4” to 1”
off the grass at any one time. Attempting to cut more
grass will result in the deck plugging and cause the
engine to stall.
3. It may be necessary to cut the lawn twice to achieve
acceptable mulching performance especially on first
cuttings or if the lawn is heavily fertilized.
4. Do not attempt to cut grass when it is wet. Mulching
performance will be very poor under wet grass
conditions.
5. Maintain sharp bade(s) throughout the cutting season.
This is very important. Optimal mulching performance
cannot be obtained with a dull or nicked up blade.
