4. Replace the bag on to the mower. Hook the loose
end of the bag retainer straps to the vehicle frame
to secure the grass bag.
Using as Mulcher
This vehicle is shipped with a mulch plug to recirculate
grass clippings into the lawn. The ultra-fine clippings
are forced back into the lawn where they act as a
natural fertilizer. Observe the following for best results:
• Attach the mulch plug to the cutting deck following
instructions on page 7.
• Never attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet
grass tends to stick to the undemide of the cutting
deck preventing proper mulching of the clippings.
• Do not attempt to mulch more than 1/3 the total
height of the grass or approximately 1-1/2 inches,
• Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass
clippings more time to be effectively mulched.
Using as Utility Cart
The lawn utility vehicle, as its name suggests, can be
used as both a riding lawn mower and a utility cart.
Remove grass catcher to expose the utility bed.
See Figure 9, Follow instructions on page 7 for
grass catcher removal. Exemise caution in ddving
the vehicle when hauling things on its utility bed.
NOTE: Total load capacity, including operator, should
not exceed 400 Ibs.
