For best mulching results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 of |
|
|
| C |
|
|
| |
grass length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry. |

2.Set the cutting height adjust lever in the highest cutting position (Notch 9).
3.Proceed mowing slowly. Gradually lower the cutting height to obtain the best combination of cutting and mulching performance. Cutting too much grass in one pass, or cutting wet heavy grass may cause clumping or plugging of the mower deck.
