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.

Set the engine speed control to the wide open

or full setting.

2.

Place the mower deck cut height selector in

either the top or second notch. Never cut more

than 3/4” to 1” off the grass at any one time.

Attempting to cut more grass will result in the

deck plugging and cause the engine to stall.

3.

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.

4.

Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet.

Mulching performance will be very poor under

wet grass conditions.

5.

Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting

Season.

This is very important. Optimal mulch-

ing performance cannot be obtained with a dull

or nicked up blade.
