Note: The pawl must always be orientated so that the side with the large flat face (M) will come in contact
with the flat faces inside the pinion gear (N) The orientation is important to ensure that the pawl will drive
the pinion gear when the clutch is engaged). Refer to figure 19.
Replace the wheel and retain using the tension washer and the nyloc nut (K). Tension the nut just
enough to remove the side to side movement of the wheel.
Replace the wheel caps (A) and re-attach the spark plug lead and lower the wheels to the ground.

Mulching Equipment
For optimum mulching performance
MULCH MOWING INFORMATION
Some models are fitted with an option for mulch mowing.
A mulch plug is supplied with these mowers and it is installed in the rear discharge chute (as
noted in the “OPERATION” section of this manual) to perform mulch mowing.
The following information provides advice on mulch mowing.
MULCH MOWING
The mulch mowing setup reduces the grass clippings into very fine particles.
The design allows for the even distribution of the grass particles at the base of the lawn.
The mulched clippings can then:
Break down quickly, releasing nutrients into the soil, saving on fertiliser costs.
Reduce evaporation of moisture from the soil which reduces watering costs and effort.
Help to control temperature extremes protecting the roots of the grass.
Assist in controlling soil erosion.
BENEFITS TO YOUR LAWN
Research has shown that lawns are usually cut
too short
,
Grass, like any other plant life, relies on photosynthesis to regenerate and survive.
Reduced leaf size (from cutting too low) can seriously effect a lawn by:
•
•
•
•
•
Making it more susceptible to disease.
•
Encouraging weeds to take hold.
•
Exposing the soil to:
greater evaporation
temperature extremes
erosion
The mulch blades are to be kept sharp.
Maintain the blade sharpening angle when sharpening.
Keep the cutting edge feather free when sharpening.
Keep the underside of the mower deck and the mulch plug free of build-up.
Refer to the Cleaning section on page 7.
