Using as Mulcher
For mulching grass, remove the grass catcher and allow the rear
discharge door to close the rear opening of mower. For effective
mulching, do not cut wet grass. If the grass has been allowed to
grow in excess of four inches, mulching is not recommended. Use
the grass catcher to bag clippings instead.
Using Grass Catcher
You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are
operating the mower.
Attach grass catcher following instructions in the “Assembly &
1.
Set-Up” section. Grass clippings will automatically collect in
bag as you run mower. Operate mower till grass bag is full.
Stop engine completely by releasing the blade control. Make
2.
sure that the unit has come to a complete stop.
Lift discharge door and pull grass bag up and away from the
3.
mower to remove the bag. Dispose of the grass clippings
and reinstall the bag when complete.
NOTE:
Make sure to clean any excess grass from around
the rear opening of the mower, especially between the
transmission cover and sidewall on the left hand side and
along the bottom, to ensure tight fit of bag onto mower.
WARNING:
If you strike a foreign object, stop the
engine. Remove wire from the spark plug,
thoroughly inspect mower for any damage, and
repair damage before restarting and operating.
Extensive vibration of mower during operation is an
indication of damage. The unit should be promptly
inspected and repaired.
