Mulching Kit #70.8088
(Optional Accessory)
Mulching procedures may vary greatly due to cli-
mate, type of grass, and soil conditions. It is gener-
ally best to mow frequently and in dry conditions.
Leaves are usually mulched and dispersed better
when some grass is cut with the leaves.
Mulching often requires more power than normal
mowing. When mulching wet and/or thick grass,
more frequent cleaning of the underside of the deck
may be necessary.
Mulching blades are recommended for mulching.
High lift blades are not recommended. Blades must
be sharp and in good condition for best results.
