Rover Mowers Limited

MULCH 'N CATCHTM

Congratulations on your purchase of a Rover Mulch ‘N Catch mower with the exclusive Patent Pending Rover Vari-Tilt System. The Rover Mulch ‘N Catch is a convertible mower. This allows you to use the mower with the grass catcher fitted to the mower, (to pick up the grass cuttings) or remove the grass catcher and fit with the mulching plug to mulch the grass. The advantages of this design is that it allows you to gain the benefits of mulch mowing, but at times of rapid growth, or when the mulched grass clippings are tending to buildup, the grass catcher can be fitted and the grass clippings removed.

WARNING

The safety of the user and others involved. Personal injury may result should this information be disregarded.
