WARNING:
I f you strike a foreign object,
stop the engine.
Remove wire from the
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower
for any damage,
and repair the damage
before
restarting
and
operating
the
mower. Extensive vibration of the mower
during
operation
is
an
indication
of
damage.
The unit
should
be promptly
inspected and repaired.
Mulching
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass because it
tends to stick to the underside of the deck, preventing
proper mulching of grass clippings. New or thick grass
may require a narrower cut. The ground speed should
be adjusted to the condition of the lawn. If mowing has
been delayed and the grass has been allowed to grow
in excess of 4", mulching is not recommended. Mow
using the grass bag to reduce the grass height to 3 1/4"
maximum before mulching.
Attaching The GrassBag
•
Remove three wing nuts holding the mulching
baffle or side discharge chute in place and remove

rear of the grass bag up toward your chest. The
grass bag will open and the grass clippings will
disperse.
•
When replacing the grass bag, be sure the top of
the bag rests on the wire support between the
handles.
