Grass Management System - Ellison E2201-18 User Manual

Using the Grass Management System
① The Grass Management System consists of the Grass Deflector (Patents
Pending), an oversized Grass Bag, and our One-Touch Height Adjustment
from 1 to 4 inches. These provide the greatest control over grass clippings of
any reel mower.
② There are 2 modes of usage: Grass Collecting and Mulching. During the dry
parts of the season, mulching is recommended to help maintain moisture in
your lawn. During the peak parts of your season when grass is growing the
fastest, multiple grass collecting passes are recommended.
③ When collecting the grass clippings, attach the Grass Bag and position the
Grass Deflector upward so the grass clippings are directed toward the back of
the Grass Bag.
④ Depending on the height setting for the mower (from 1 to 4 inches), the Grass
Deflector's position will need to change slightly to always be directing the
grass clippings toward the back of the Grass Bag.
⑤ The Grass Deflector also prevents the grass clippings from "spraying" upward
to the sides of the mower and back at the user.
⑥ To redirect the Grass Deflector (only when the cutting reel is not rotating), pull
downward or upward holding onto the middle grip area to change its position.
⑦ When mulching, remove the Grass Bag, and set the Grass Deflector to its
lowest position.
⑧ With the Grass Deflector set at its lowest position, the grass clippings will be
directed back down to the lawn rather than "spraying" upward like most reel
mowers.
⑨ When mulching, it is recommended to only cut about 1 inch or less of the
grass height in order to receive the maximum mulching benefit from the
smaller grass clippings which will help your lawn maintain moisture and help
support a healthy root system acting as fertilizer for the lawn.
Note: Leaving behind excess grass clippings that are too long can stress the lawn
aving it susceptible to weeds, disease, and poor appearance.
