MULCHING TIPS
NOTE:
Inspect the area where the mower is to be used,
and remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other
debris that might be thrown by the rotating blade.
•
Release the bail lever to turn the mower OFF when
crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown
by the blade).
•
Set mower to the highest cutting height when
mowing on uneven ground or in tall weeds.
•
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass,
because it tends to stick to the underside of the
deck, preventing proper mulching of grass
clippings. New or thick grass may require a
narrower cut. The ground speed should be adjusted
to the condition of the lawn.
•
Walk at a steady pace. Overlap the cutting rows. Do
not let the grass get too tall. If the grass gets too
long, start at the highest cutting position and work
down to the desired cutting height.
WARNING:
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor
and remove the battery. Thoroughly inspect the mower
for any damage. Repair any damage before operating
the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower during
operation is an indication of damage. Thoroughly
inspect the mower and repair any damage before
operating the mower.
