SECTION 2: OPERATION
This mulch kit incorporates special blades in a process
of recirculating grass clippings repeatedly beneath the
cutting deck. After which, the ultra-fine clippings are
forced back into the lawn where they act as a natural
fertilizer. Regard the following recommendations for the
best results when mulching.
•
Clear the lawn of all debris prior to mowing.
Running over stick, rocks, children’s toys, etc. can
damage the mulching blades and make them less
effective. Such objects can also be thrown by the
mower and cause serious personal injury or
damage to surrounding property, even with the
mulch plug in place.
•
Never attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet
grass tends to stick to the underside of the cutting
deck preventing proper mulching of the clippings.
•
Do NOT attempt to mulch more than 1/3 the total
height of the grass or approximately 1-1/2 inches.
Doing so will cause the clippings to clump up
beneath the deck and not be mulched effectively.
WARNING: Do NOT under any
circumstances attempt to mow through
grass which exceeds ten inches in height.
Debris may build up on the mowing deck
and come into contact with belts and
other moving parts or the engine’s
exhaust system presenting a potential fire
hazard.
•
Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass
clippings more time to effectively be mulched.
•
To allow the blades to mulch properly, ALWAYS
keep the engine at full throttle.
