Recycling Operation

Note: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry.

1.Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch 7). Refer to the Section entitled “Cutting Height Adjustment”.

2.Move the engine speed control to the fast (Rabbit) position.

3.Move the ground speed control to the slowest speed setting.

4.Proceed mowing slowly. If the grass is very dense, lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the front wheel latches to improve recycling performance.

Note: The recycling cover should remain on the machine at all times, unless alternate discharge operations are desired, such as side discharging or bagging.
