Mulch Mowing
Mulching can save time, avoids creating piles of
rotting cuttings and feeds your lawn. When Mulch
mowing it is necessary to observe certain rules:
1. Reduce the height of the grass by no more
than 1/3rd its height in each pass. If the
grass has grown long make several passes to
achieve the cut height you require.
2. Run the engine at maximum speed.
3. Mow often, particularly in spring and early
summer. Short clippings of 25mm (1”) or less
decompose more quickly.
4. If an unsightly residue of cuttings is being left –
increase the cutting height.
6. Vary the mowing pattern from cut to cut.
7. Always keep the underside of the cutting deck
clean to ensure good grass flow.
8. Always check that the blades are sharp and in
good condition – never attempt to sharpen or
replace them yourself.
High Grass Mulch Deck
(Fig. 22)
The real alternative when cutting long or paddock
grass is the “high grass mulch” deck. When using the
high grass mulch deck please ensure the following:
1. When cutting very tall grass set the deck at the
higher settings 7-9.
2. Drive forward at a speed that does not cause
the engine speed to drop. REMEMBER if the
RPM display flashes below 2600rpm, there are
two options: a) Reduce forward speed
b) Raise the cutting height.
3. Regularly check the cutter deck drive belt
tension in accordance with the instructions
(Page 12).
Mulching
(Fig. 23)
The mulching feature has three mulching
compartments. Grass cuttings are lifted and cut
several times. The small grass particles release
nutrients back into the soil for healthy growth.
