MOWING
Fallen Leaves If you want to mulch fallen
leaves into your lawn, don’t let
the leaf cover get too deep
before you begin. For best
results, start mulching while
grass still shows through the leaf
cover.
Mulching blades (see page 8)
and the mulching plug
(see page 9) are standard
equipment on HRM215 mowers.
They can be installed as optional
equipment on HRB215 mowers.
In places where fallen leaves completely cover the grass, remove
the leaves by raking, or install the grass bag, so your mower can
pick them up for disposal.
The grass bag is standard equipment on HRB215 mowers (see
page 9) and can be installed as optional equipment on HRM215
mowers.
If using your mower to bag large accumulations of fallen leaves
for disposal, and not for mowing or mulching, set the cutting
height adjustment levers so the front of the mower deck is one or
two settings higher than the rear.
If the Mower Deck Clogs Before clearing a clogged
mower deck, stop the engine,
leave the throttle lever in the
STOP position and disconnect
the spak plug cap. Tilt the
mower so the carburetor side is
up-
Clear a clogged deck with a
stick, not your hands.
