D STOPPING RIDERĊIf forward motion of rider
has to be stopped while cutting, a clump of grass
clippings may be deposited on lawn. Follow this proĆ
cedure for stopping while cutting:
A. With blade engaged, move onto a previously cut
area.
B. Raise deck one or two height-of-cut settings
while driving rider forward and deck is in operaĆ
tion.
C. Depress clutch and brake pedals, move throttle
control lever to SLOW position, disengage mowĆ
er and rotate ignition key to OFF.
D MOW AT PROPER INTERVALSĊUnder most
normal conditions you'll need to mow approximately
every 4-5 days. But remember, grass grows at difĆ
ferent rates at different times. This means that in orĆ
der to maintain the same height-of-cut, which is a
good practice, you'll need to cut more frequently in
early spring; as the grass growth rate slows in mid
summer, cut only every 8-10 days. If you are unable
to mow for an extended period due to weather
conditions or other reasons, mow first with the
height-of-cut at a high level; then mow again 2-3
days later with a lower height setting.
D Alternate mowing direction. This helps disperse
clippings over lawn for even fertilization.
D SIDE DISCHARGING OR BAGGINGĊTo side
discharge or use bagging attachment, remove the
wingnut and metal tab securing the plastic discharge
cover to the grass deflector.

The Recyclerr rider's special features reduce clipĆ
ping size, thus decreasing amount of grass to be
disposed of and number of times bagger will have to
be emptied.
+/" When bagger is full, mower will begin to inject
clippings down into the grass.
If the lawn appearance is not satisfactory after mowĆ
ing, try one of the following:
D Sharpen the blade.
D Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
D Cut your grass more frequently.
D Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
D Mow across the marginal areas a second time.
In the fall, you can cut your leaves up into finely cut
particles and inject the particles down into the grass.
When spring arrives, the leaf particles will have deĆ
composed and restored valuable nutrients to the
soil.
D When cutting is complete, always be sure that
50% of the lawn shows through the finely cut leaf
cover. This may require one or more passes over the
leaves.
D If there are more than five inches of leaves on
lawn, raise the deck one or two notches higher. This
makes it easier to feed leaves under mower deck.
D If leaves are not cut up finely enough to be hidĆ
den down in the grass, make a second pass 90_to
the first pass.
D If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, you might want
to add lime to your grass in the spring. Lime reduces
the acidity of oak leaves.
