2.6 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.

7). Refer to Section "Cutting Height Adjustment".
2. Move engine speed control to "FAST" (Rabbit)
position.

setting.

lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the
front wheel latches to improve recycling performance.

operations are desired, such as side discharging or
bagging.
