MULCHING
A mulch kit is available as an attachment. Mulching is a process of
recirculating grass clippings repeatedly beneath the cutting deck.
The ultra-fine clippings are then forced back into the lawn where
they act as a natural fertilizer.
A mulchkit canbe purchased.See the ReplacementParts& Attach-
mentssectionof this manualfor moreinformation.
