MULCHMOWINGINFORMATION

Somemowersarefitted withanoptionfor mulchmowing.

Amulchplug issupplied withthese mowersand itisinstalled inthe rear discharge chute(as

notedinthe “OPERATION” sectionof thismanual) toperformmulchmowing.

Thefollowing information provides adviceon mulchmowing.

MULCHMOWING

Themulchmowing setup reduces the grass clippings intoveryfine particles.

Thedesign allowsfor the even distribution of thegrass particles atthe base of the lawn.

Themulched clippings can then:

• Break downquickly, releasingnutrientsintothe soil, savingon fertilizer costs.

• Reduceevaporation of moisturefromthe soilwhichreduces watering costsandeffort.

• Helptocontroltemperatureextremes protecting the rootsof the grass.

• Assistincontrollingsoilerosion.

Alwaysensurethe engine isstoppedand the sparkplug leadisremovedbefore

attempting anymaintenanceon the mower.

CAUTION

Donothose theengine aswater can damage the air cleaner and ignitionsystem.

CAUTION

MULCHMOWINGINFORMATION(continued)

BENEFITS TOYOUR LAWN

Researchhas shownthatlawns areusuallycut too short,

Grass, likeanyother plantlife, relies on photosynthesistoregenerateand survive.

Reduced leaf size (fromcutting toolow) can seriouslyeffectalawnby:

• Makingiteasypreyfordisease.

• Encouraging weeds totake hold.

• Exposingthe soilto:

- greater evaporation

- temperatureextremes; and

- erosion

Raisingthe cutheightand using mulchmowing followsthe best practice for nurturing ahealthier

moreattractivelawnwithlesswater usage.

BENEFITS FORYOU

Because you mulchas you mowthe timeand costsavingsarealso significant:

• Eliminatingraking of leaves beforemowing (Mulchmowingpicks up and convertsfallen

leaves intomulch).

• Eliminatingraking of cutgrass

• Saves timespentemptying the catcher.

• Automaticallydisposing of grass clippings.

• Eliminatingthe need todisposeof clippings atthe refuse tip.

USEFULMULCHMOWINGTIPS

Mulchmowingisan artformand toproducethe bestresultsconsistently, followthese usefulhints:

• Donot attempt tomulch ifthe grass istoo wet.

Wetgrass tends toclumptogether and does notevenlyspread out.

Italso clogs up the underside of the base.

• Donot mulchmowon too lowacutting height.

Remember the maximumcutshouldbe 25mmoff the topof the grass, or 1/3rdthe grass

(blade) height, whichever isthe lesser amount. Refer tofigure13.

• Donot push the mowertoo fast.

Toobtainthe bestfinish itmaybe necessary

toregulatetheground speed.

• Run the engine at full throttle.

Running the engineatlowspeed doesnot

allowthe bladestomulchthe grass efficiently.

• Keep the mulch bladessharp.

Themulchbladesaredesignedtocutand re-

cutthe bladesof grass.

If the mulchblades arenotkeptsharp,

mulching performancewillbe reduced.

• Keep the undersideofthe mowerand

mulch plug clean.

Build-up of grass under the mower baseblocks the airflowcreated bythe mulchblade and

reduces the mulching performance.

If the conditionsformulch mowing arenot idealand someclipping trailsarevisibleafter

cutting it may be necessaryto:

1. Fitthe grass catcher and catchmow.

2. Re-mowover the visibleclippings

3. Raise the cutheight.

4. Rake the clippingsup after mowing.
