Mulching (Recycling) Operation
Note:
For best results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 of grass
blade length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry.
1. Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch 7).
Refer to the Section entitled “Cutting Height
Adjustment”.
2. Move the engine speed control to the fast (Rabbit)
position.

setting.
4. Proceed mowing slowly. If the grass is very dense,
lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the
front wheel latches to improve mulching performance.
Note:
The mulching cover should remain on the machine at
all times, unless alternate discharge operations are desired,
such as side discharging or bagging.

cover (B) to the mower deck.
