MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UPGRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN
AFTER EACH USE.
• The sl_ecial mulching blade will recut the grass clip-
pings many times and reduce them in size so that as
they fall onto the lawn they willdisperse intothe grass
and not be noticed. Also,the mulched grasswillbiode-
grade quickly to provide nutrientsforthe lawn. Always
mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this
will provide the best recuttingaction of the blades.
• Avoidcutting your lawnwhen itiswet. Wet grass tends
to formclumps and interferes with the mulchingaction.
The best time to mow your lawn isthe early afternoon.
At this time the grass has dried, the newly cutarea will
not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so
that the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the
grass blades (See Fig. 11). Forextremely heavy mulch-
ing, reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow
slowly.
MAX 1/3
FIG. 11
• Certain typesofgrass and grassconditionsmay requira
that an area be mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow
across (perpendicular) tothe first cut path.
• Change yourcutting pattern from week to week. Mow
north tosouthone week then change toeast towest the
next week. This will help prevent matting and graining
of the lawn.
