MULCHING TIPS
When you use a mulcher attachment, the grass is cut into very small
pieces. These small pieces will quickly break down. Because the
nutrients are returned to the soil, the lawn will need less fertilizer. Too
correctly mulch the grass, follow the steps below.
1.
Set the throttle in the FAST position. Operate the mower at a
slower ground speed. If ground speed is too fast, the grass will
not have an even cut.
2.
Keep a sharp edge on the blade. A blade that is not sharp will
cause the ends of the grass to become brown.
3.
Make sure the grass is dry. Wet grass is difficult to cut.
4.
Set the height of the mower housing so that only the top third
of the grass is cut. If the grass is too high, set the height of the
mower housing to the maximum height. Then, lower the mower
housing for the second cut. Also, instead of using the full width
of the mower housing, mulch at half the width.
5.
Clean the bottom of the mower housing. Grass and other debris
can keep the mower from working correctly.
6.
If the grass grows fast, mulch more often.
7.
If an area needs improvement, mulch a second time.
