service with engine and blade running. STOP engine

HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all
components to cool.

2.6 RECYCLING OPERATION
NOTE: For best recycling 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 6).
2. Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit)
position.
3. Move ground speed control to slowest speed setting.
4. Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense, lower
each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the front
wheel latches to improve recycling performance.

adapter. See Figure 2.9. Attach grass bag hooks over
middle handle cross bar. See Figure 2.10.
