2.6 RECYCLING OPERATION
NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3
of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry.
1. Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch
7). Refer to Section “Cutting Height Adjustment”.
2. Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit)
position.
3. Move ground speed control to slowest speed
setting.
4. Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense,
lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the
front wheel latches to improve recycling performance.
NOTE: The recycling cover should remain on the
machine at all times, unless alternate discharge
operations are desired, such as side discharging or
bagging.
TO REMOVE RECYCLING COVER:
Remove knob nuts and internal/external tooth lock
washers securing recycling cover to mower deck.
Remove cover. See Figure 2.12.
