Congratulations on your purchase of a Rover Mulch ‘N Catch mower with the exclusive Patent
Pending Rover Vari-Tilt System.

 The Rover Mulch ‘N Catch is a 

convertible mower

remove the grass catcher and fit with the mulching plug to mulch the grass. The advantages of this

design is that it allows you to gain the benefits of mulch mowing, but at times of rapid growth, or

when the mulched grass clippings are tending to buildup, the grass catcher can be fitted and the

grass clippings removed.
