IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower houstng free of bultt_up grass and
trash, Clean after each use.
o "The special mulching blade will recur
the grass clippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into the
grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade quickly
to provide nutrients for the lawn_ Always
mulch with your highest engine (blade)
speed as this will provide the best recut-
ling action of the blades.
o Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action. The
best time te mow your lawn is the early
aflernoon. At this time the grass has
dried and the newly cut area will not be
exposed to the direct sun.
Max 1/3
° For best results,
adjust the mower
cut-
ting height so that the mower cuts off
only the top one4hird
of the grass
blades_ For extremely
heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass
and mow slowly.
• Certain
types of grass and grass condi-
tions may require that an area be
mulched
a second
time to completely
hide the clippings.
When doing a sec-
ond cut, mow across
or perpendicular
to
the first cut path.
,
Change
your cutting pattern
from week
to week. Mow north to south one week
then change
to east to west the next
week. '1"his will help prevent
matting
and
graining
of the lawn.
