MULCHING BLADE
Mulching blades are designed for use with a mulching (discharge block-off) plate or with a
complete mulching system. These blades feature a high lift, “double-cut” edge for quick,
thorough shredding of grass clippings, leaves and debris.

Mower Deck Operation
Stay clear of blades during operation.
Clear area of all non-essential personnel before engaging the blades.
Verify that all safety covers are in place before operation.
Do not aim/point/etc. the discharge in the direction of bystanders, vehi-
cles, or buildings.
Do not operate your Lastec Mower when children are present.
Deck belts
All decks are belt driven - the drive belt (located under the operator seat pan) drives the
main deck, and three deck belts (running between the decks) drive each deck. The indi-
vidual decks pivot at blade level. The idler belt tension system adjusts the belt length as
necessary during articulation, holding the Lastec Mower the contour of the ground with
precision.
