MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER

HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.

• The spe cial mulch blades will recut the grass clip pings 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 quick ly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will pro vide 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 mulch ing 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. For ex tremely heavy mulch ing, re duce your width of cut and mow slow ly.

• Cer tain types of grass and grass con di tions may re quire that an area be mulched a second time to com pletely hide the clippings. When doing a sec ond cut, mow across or perpendicular to the ﬁ rst 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.
