Using as Mulcher
For mulching grass, remove the grass catcher or side discharge chute from the
mower. When you remove the grass catcher from the mower, the rear discharge
door will close. When you remove the side discharge chute, the mulching cover will
close. For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass. If the grass has been allowed to
grow in excess of four inches, mulching is not recommended. Use the grass catcher
to bag clippings instead.
Using Grass Catcher
You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are operating the
mower.
1. Attach grass catcher following instructions on page 10 in the Assembly
section. Grass clippings will automatically collect in bag as you run mower.
Operate mower until grass bag is full.
2. Stop engine completely by releasing the blade control. Make sure that the
unit has come to a complete stop.
3. Lift discharge door and pull grass bag up and away from the mower to
remove the bag. Dispose of the grass clippings and reinstall the bag when
complete.
NOTE: Make sure to clean any excess grass from around the rear discharge
opening of the mower, especially between the transmission cover and
sidewall on the left hand side and along the bottom, to ensure tight fit of
bag onto mower.
If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Disconnect the spark plug
wire, thoroughly inspect mower for any damage, and repair damage
before restarting and operating. Extensive vibration of mower during
operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly
inspected and repaired.
