MOWING/ MULCHING GUIDE
Mowing techniques are different for different conditions. The aim of a mulch mower is to repeatedly cut grass until
it is cut up fine enough to drop below the grass left standing. To achieve the perfect result you must cut off one third
of the grass height. This allows the cut up grass to be concealed achieving the perfect result. If you cut lower than
one third of the grass it won’t be concealed and will be visible lying on top of the standing grass and a poor result
will be achieved. Grass with low moisture content is best cut with a mulch mower. This prevents the grass sticking
together so allow rain or dew to dry off before mowing.
To achieve the best results follow the MOWING & MULCHING GUIDE below.
Tip: If grass is higher than 6 cm always take the first cut at the highest position. This reduces the amount of work
your mower engine has to do and allows you to move throughout the grass without stalling the engine. You can now
check for any objects low in the grass that would previously have been hidden. Now set the mowing height to the
desired result and continue mowing.
