Mulching (fig. 45)
The Mulching cutter deck 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.
Mulch Mowing (fig. 45)
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.
5. Vary the mowing pattern from cut to cut.
6. Always keep the underside of the cutting deck
clean to ensure good grass flow.
7. Always check that the blades are sharp and in
good condition – never attempt to sharpen or
replace them yourself.
