OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOWING WITH A MULCHING ATTACHMENT (continued):

7.Keep the underside of the mower deck clean. Remove all grass and dirt build-up from the under- side of the pan, the baffles and deflectors after each use. Never, under any circumstances, should you place hands or feet under the mower deck or in the chute while blades or impeller are still turning.

8.Alternate mower direction. This will evenlydisperse the mulched grass clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.

If the mulching quality of the mower does not seem to be satisfactory, try one or more of the following tips:

a.Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.

b.It may be necessary to cut your grass more frequently.

c.Operate the mower at a slower ground speed.

d.Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.

e.Mow across the marginal areas a second time.

f.CUT HIGH - MOW OFTEN!
