24758x50A MULCHER KIT FOR 42” MODELS
MULCHING TIPS
When you use a mulcher attachment, the grass is cut into very small pieces. These small pieces will quickly break down. Because the nutrients are returned to the soil, the lawn will need less fertilizer. Too correctly mulch the grass, follow the steps below.
1.Set the throttle in the FAST position. Operate the mower at a slower ground speed. If ground speed is too fast, the grass will not have an even cut.
2.Keep a sharp edge on the blade. A blade that is not sharp will cause the ends of the grass to become brown.
3.Make sure the grass is dry. Wet grass is difficult to cut.
4.Set the height of the mower housing so that only the top third of the grass is cut. If the grass is too high, set the height of the mower housing to the maximum height. Then, lower the mower housing for the second cut. Also, instead of using the full width of the mower housing, mulch at half the width.
5.Clean the bottom of the mower housing. Grass and other debris can keep the mower from working correctly.
6.If the grass grows fast, mulch more often.
7.If an area needs improvement, mulch a second time.
