heavy grass, reduce your width of cut 
by overlapping previously cut path and 
mow slowly.

•  Certain types of grass and grass 

con di tions may re quire that an area be 
mulched a second time to com pletely 
hide the clip pings. When doing a sec ond 
cut, mow across (per pen dic u lar) 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.

•  The special mulching blade 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 bio de grade quickly to provide 
nu tri ents for the lawn. Always mulch with 
your highest motor (blade) speed as this 
will provide the best recutting action of 
the blades.

Wet grass tends to form clumps and 
in ter feres with the mulch ing action.

•  For best results, adjust the lawn mower 

cutting height so that the lawn mower 
cuts off only the top one-third of the 
grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it 
will be necessary to raise the height of 
cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep 
from over load ing the motor and leaving 
clumps of mulched grass. For ex tremely
