Mowing With A Mulching Attachment - Dixon Black Bear ZTR 34, ZTR 44, ZTR 34 Safety And Operating Manual

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOWING WITH A MULCHING ATTACHMENT

(continued)
7. Keep the underside of the mower deck clean. Remove
all grass and dirt buildup from the underside of the pan,
the baffles and deflectors after each use. Never, under
any circumstances, place your hands or feet under
the mower deck or in the chute while blades or
impeller are still turning.
8. Alternate mower direction. This will evenly disperse the
mulched grass clippings over the lawn for even
fertilization.
If the mulching quality of the mower does not seem
to be satisfactory, try one or more of the following
tips:
• Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
• Cut grass more frequently.
• Operate the mower at a slower ground speed.
• Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath
with each pass.
• Mow across the marginal areas a second time.
• CUT HIGH - MOW OFTEN!
