Using as Mulcher
For mulching grass, remove the grass catcher and side discharge chute from the
mower. For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass. If the grass has been allowed
to grow in excess of four inches, mulching is not recommended. Use the grass
catcher to bag clippings instead.
Using Grass Catcher
You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are operating the
mower.
1. Attach grass catcher following instructions in the "Assembly" section. Grass
clippings will automatically collect in bag as you run mower. Operate mower
until grass bag is full.
2. Stop engine completely by releasing the blade control. Make sure that the
unit has come to a complete stop.
3. Lift discharge door and pull grass bag up and away from the mower to
remove the bag. Dispose of the grass clippings and reinstall the bag when
complete.
NOTE: Make sure to clean any excess grass from around the rear opening of
the mower, especially between the transmission cover and sidewall on the
left hand side and along the bottom, to ensure tight fit of bag onto mower.
If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Disconnect the spark plug
wire, thoroughly inspect mower for any damage, and repair damage
before restarting and operating. Extensive vibration of mower during
operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly
inspected and repaired.
