Using as Mulcher

This vehicle is shipped with a mulch plug to recirculate grass clippings into the lawn. The ultra-fine clippings are forced back into the lawn where they act as a natural fertilizer. Observe the following for best results:

•Attach the mulch plug to the cutting deck following instructions on page 7.

•Never attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet grass tends to stick to the undemide of the cutting deck preventing proper mulching of the clippings.

•Do not attempt to mulch more than 1/3 the total height of the grass or approximately 1-1/2 inches,

•Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass clippings more time to be effectively mulched.

Remove grass catcher to expose the utility bed.

See Figure 9, Follow instructions on page 7 for grass catcher removal. Exemise caution in ddving the vehicle when hauling things on its utility bed.

NOTE: Total load capacity, including operator, should not exceed 400 Ibs.

Using as Utility Cart

The lawn utility vehicle, as its name suggests, can be used as both a riding lawn mower and a utility cart.
