| Mulching Operation |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| For best mulching results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 |
|
|
|
| of grass length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry. |
|
|
|
| 1. Make sure the discharge deflector and grass bag |
|
|
|
| are removed, and the mulching plug is installed. |
B |
|
|
| 2. Set the cutting height adjust lever in the highest |
|
|
| cutting position (Notch 9). | |
|
|
|
| 3. Proceed mowing slowly. Gradually lower the cut- |
|
|
|
| ting height to obtain the best combination of cut- |
A |
|
|
| ting and mulching performance. Cutting too much |
| C |
| grass in one pass, or cutting wet heavy grass may | |
|
|
| cause clumping or plugging of the mower deck. | |
