MULCHING MOWING TIPS
When using the mulching plug, your new mower 
is designed to cut the grass clippings into small 
pieces and distribute them back into the lawn, using 
mulching fins located inside the mower deck.
Under normal conditions, the mulched grass will 
biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn. 
Please review the following recommendations for 
optimum mulching performance, 
1)  Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain 
or dew. Wet grass may form clumps which 
interfere with the mulching action and reduce 
runtime. The best time to mow grass is in the 
late afternoon when the grass is dry and the 
newly cut area will not be exposed to direct 
sunlight.
2)  For best mulching performance, set the cutting 
height to remove about one third of the grass 
blade length. If the lawn is overgrown, it 
may be necessary to increase the cut height 
to reduce the pushing effort and prevent 
overloading the motor. For extremely heavy 
mulching, it is advisable to first cut at a high 
cut height setting, and then re-cut to the final 
cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and 
mow slowly.
3)  For best performance, keep the mower housing 
free of built-up grass. From time to time turn 
off mower and wait for the blade to come to a 
complete stop. Then unplug the Safety Key (1) 
and turn mower on its side. Using an object 
such as a stick, wipe out any accumulation of 
grass in the blade area. Be careful of the sharp 
edges of the blade. Clean often in wet, new 
grass, and always after every use.
4)  Certain types of grass or grass conditions may 
require that an area be mulched a second time 
to fully disperse the grass throughout the lawn. 
If cutting a second time, it is advisable to cut 
perpendicular (across) the first cut pattern. DO 
NOT CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT 
WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.
5)  Change your cutting pattern from week to 
week. This will help prevent matting and 
graining of the lawn.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stop the mower and remove 
the safety key before removing the 
grass bag.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, perform 
the following maintenance procedures regularly. 
Check for obvious defects such as a loose, 
dislodged or a damaged blade, loose fittings, 
and worn or damaged components. Check that 
the covers and guards are all undamaged and 
are correctly attached to mower. Carry out any 
necessary maintenance or repairs before operating 
mower.  If the mower should happen to fail despite 
regular maintenance, please call our customer 
helpline for advice. 
BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER 
PERFORMANCE. 
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE 
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING 
BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing 
season is usually sufficient under normal 
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull 
quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent 
sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE 
IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, 
removing equal amounts of material from both 
ends.
