2.12 RECYCLING 

NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 of 
grass blade length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry. 

1.  Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch 6). 
2.  Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit) 
position. 
3.  Move ground speed control to slowest speed setting. 
4.  Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense, lower 
each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the front 
wheel latches to improve recycling performance.
