Mulching Guidelines
To ensure acceptable mulching performance:
The length of grass to be cut in one pass •
should not exceed
1
/3 of the total grass height.
Example: If grass height is 3", the mower deck
cutting height should be set at not less than 2".
Ground speed should normally be reduced to •
allow clippings to be nely mulched.
Engine RPM should be set at maximum.•
Blades must be kept sharp.•
The underside of deck should be cleaned out •
often to prevent grass accumulation.
Conditions must be dry. Wet grass does not •
mulch well and grass accumulates under deck.
Install the kit mulching blades using the existing 7.
blade bolt (torque to 90 ft./lbs.).
Rotate the blades by hand and check for 8.
clearance of all bafes.
Make sure all hardware is tight. 9.
Remove blocks and return the mower to its normal 10.
position.
