11. Mulching Tips
WARNING
• Inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wire and
other debris that might be thrown by the rotating blade.
• Release the switch to turn off the mower blade rotation when crossing any graveled areas;
stones can be thrown by a rotating blade.
• Set the mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall
growth.
• For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass; it tends to stick to the underside of the deck,
preventing the proper mulching of grass clippings. The best time to mow grass is in the
late afternoon, when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
• For the best mulching performance, set the cutting height to remove approximately one
third of the grass-blade length, ideally no more than 1-1/2" (38mm) at one time. If the grass
is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut height to make it easier to mow and
to prevent overloading the motor. Slow your cutting pace in tall or thick grass conditions.
For mulching extremely thick or tall grass, it is advisable to rst cut at a high cutting-height
setting, and then re-cut to the nal cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow
slowly. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS SHARP.
