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 mulching
performance cannot be obtained with a dull or nicked
up blade.
