MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP
MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND
TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.
• The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings
many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be
noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly
to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with your
highest engine (blade) speed as this will provide the best
recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends
to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.
The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At
this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area will
not be exposed to the direct sun.
• For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that
the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass
blades (See Fig. 4). For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut and mow slowly.
• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require
that an area be mulched a second time to completely hide
the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across or
perpendicular to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow
north to south one week then change to east to west the
next week. This will help prevent matting and graining of
the lawn.
