MOWING WITH A MULCHING ATTACHMENT
(continued):
7. Keep the underside of the mower deck clean.
Remove all grass and dirt build-up from the
underside of the pan, the baffles and deflectors
after each use. Never, under any circumstances,
should you place hands or feet under the
mower deck or in the chute while blades or
impeller are still turning.
8. Alternate mower direction. This will evenlydisperse
the mulched grass clippings over the lawn for even
fertilization.
If the mulching quality of the mower does not seem
to be satisfactory, try one or more of the following
tips:
a. Raise the height-of-cut setting on your
mower.
b. It may be necessary to cut your grass
more frequently.
c. Operate the mower at a slower ground
speed.
d. Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting
a full swath with each pass.
e. Mow across the marginal areas a second
time.
f. CUT HIGH - MOW OFTEN!
