Powersmart DB9422S - Using Mulching Control Lever; Using Side Discharge Chute; Using Rear Grass Bagger

Mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few inches in
order to avoid stripes.
It’s import to keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass build-up. This buildup will
decrease mulching quality, and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by
holding a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If
necessary, mow a number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the engine has been turned off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary
is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately turn
off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the
blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.
USING AS MULCHING CONTROL LEVER
If the Grass Catcher is on the mower, and the Mulching Control Lever is
in the bagging position, move the lever to the mulching position before
mulching the clippings.
If the Side-discharge Chute is on the mower, remove it before mulching
the clippings.
USING AS SIDE DISCHARGE
You should fit the mulching adapter in order to use the side discharge.
1. On the side of the mower, lift the side discharge cover.
2. Slide two hooks of side discharge chute under hinge pin on the side discharge cover. Lower the side
discharge cover.
Caution: Do not remove side discharge cover at any time.
USING AS A REAR BAGGER
To use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are operating the mower.
1. Attached grass catcher following instruction in the lawn mower preparation. Grass clippings will
automatically collect in bag as you run the mower. Operate mower until grass catcher is full.
