MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower
housing
free of built-up
grass and trash.
Clean after each use.
o The special
mulching
blade will recut
the grass clippings
many times
and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse
into the
grass and not be noticed.
Also, the
mulched
grass will biodegrade
quickly
to provide
nutrients
for the lawn_
Always
mulch with your highest
engine
(blade)
speed
as this will provide
the
best recutting
action of the blades.
o Avoid cutting
your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps
and
interferes
with the mulching
action.
The best time to mow your lawn is the
early afternoon°
At this time the grass
has dried and the newly cut area will
not be exposed
to the direct sun,
,, For best results,
adjust the mower
cutting
height so that the mower cuts off
only the top one-third
of the grass
blades°
For extremely
heavy mulching,
reduce
your width of cut on each pass
and mow slowly.
o Certain
types of grass and grass
conditions
may require
that an area be
mulched
a second
time to completely
hide the clippings.
When
doing a
second
cut, mow across
or perpendicu-
lar to the first cut path_
° Change
your cutting
pattern
from week
to week.
Mow north to south one week
then change
to east to west the next
week.
This will help prevent
matting
and graining
of the lawn.
