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 of 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
CuttingSeason. This is very important. Optimal
mulching performance cannot be obtained with
a dull or nicked up blade.
