Cutting Height Adjustment
Pull the cutting height adjust lever (A, Figure 6)
outward, and move to the desired cutting height. The
highest cutting position is Notch 9, and the lowest
cutting position is Notch 1 (Figure 7). The lever will
set all wheels to the same cutting height.
Mulching Operation
For best mulching results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 of
grass length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry.
1. Make sure the discharge deflector and grass bag are
removed, and the mulching plug is installed.
2. Set the cutting height adjust lever in the highest cutting
position (Notch 9).
3. Proceed mowing slowly. Gradually lower the cutting
height to obtain the best combination of cutting and
mulching performance. Cutting too much grass in one
pass, or cutting wet heavy grass may cause clumping or
plugging of the mower deck.
Installing the Discharge Deflector
1. Raise the mulching cover (A, Figure 8).
2. Install the deflector (B) to the deck under the mulching
cover, making sure that the locking tabs on the deck (C)
go through the slots in the deflector (B).
3. Lower the mulching cover against the deflector.
