2.7 RECYCLING OPERATION
NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum of
!
1/3 of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when grass is
dry.
1. Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch
7). Refer to Section "Cutting Height Adjustment".
2. Move engine speed control to "FAST" (Rabbit) posi-
tion.
3. Move ground speed control to slowest speed set-
ting.
4. Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense,
lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the
front wheel latches to improve recycling performance.
NOTE: The recycling cover should remain on the
machine at all times, unless alternate discharge opera-
tions are desired, such as side discharging or bagging.
TO REMOVE RECYCLING COVER:
Remove knob nuts and internal/external tooth lock washers
securing recycling cover to mower deck. Remove cover.
