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 the recycled or

mulched clippings.

In order to achieve the best results, please read and follow

the mulching tips listed below:

1. Read and follow the installation instructions that are

included with your mulcher.

2. Set the engine speed control to the wide open or full

setting.

3. Place the mower deck cut height selector in either the top

or second notch. Never cut more than ¾" (19 mm) to 1"

(25mm) off the grass at any one time. Attempting to cut

more grass will result in the deck plugging and cause the

engine to stall.

4. 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.

5. Do not attempt to cut grass when it is wet. Mulching

performance will be very poor in wet grass conditions.

6. Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season. This

is very important. Optimal mulching performance cannot

be obtained with a dull or nicked blade.
