Useful Mulching Hints
Mulch mowing is an acquired art form, and to produce the best results consis- tently, follow these useful hints:
•Do not attempt to mulch if the grass is too wet. Wet grass tends to clump together and does not evenly spread out. It also clogs up the underside of the base.
•Do not mulch on too low a cutting height. Remember the maximum cut should be 25mm off the top of the grass, or 1/3 the grass blade height, whichever is the lesser amount. Refer to diagram.
•Do not push the mulch mower too fast. To obtain the best finish it may be necessary to regulate the ground speed.
•Run the engine at full throttle. Running the engine at low speed does not allow the blades to mulch the grass efficiently.
•Keep the mulch blades sharp. The mulch blades are designed to cut and recut the blades of grass. If the mulch blades are not kept sharp mulching per- formance will be reduced.
•Keep the underside of the base clean.
