MULCHING TIPS
NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES, STICKS, WIRE,
BONES AN
D OTHER DEBRIS WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN THE ROTATING BLADE.
1. Release switch to turn mower OFF when crossing any graveled area(stones can be thrown by the blade).
2. Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough ground or in tall weed.
3. For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass, as it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mulching of
gra
ss clippings. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut. The ground speed should be adjusted to the condition of the
lawn. If mowing has been delayed and the grass has been allowed to grow in excess of 4”, mow twice to reduce the grass
heigh
t to 3 3/4” maximum.
4.
Walk at a good, steady pace. Overlap your rows. Don’t let the grass get too tall. If the grass gets too long start at the highest cutting
po
sition and work down to the desired cutting height.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor by releasing the power switch.
