For mulching grass, remove the side discharge chute from the
mower. When you remove the side discharge chute, the mulch cover
will close. 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.
USING AS MULCHER
Rapid retraction of the starter
cord (kickback) will pull your
hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can
let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
Wait for the blade to stop
completely before performing
any work on the mower.
WARNING
WARNING
