MTD 51M Lawn Mower User Manual


 
Congratulations on your purchase of a Rover Mulch ‘N Catch mower with the exclusive Patent
Pending Rover Vari-Tilt System. The Rover Mulch ‘N Catch is a convertible mower. This allows
you to use the mower with the grass catcher fitted to the mower, (to pick up the grass cuttings) or
remove the grass catcher and fit with the mulching plug to mulch the grass. The advantages of this
design is that it allows you to gain the benefits of mulch mowing, but at times of rapid growth, or
when the mulched grass clippings are tending to buildup, the grass catcher can be fitted and the
grass clippings removed.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions to
avoid mower damage and
possible loss of warranty.
WARNING
The safety of the user and others
involved. Personal injury may
result should this information be
disregarded.
