Attaching A Trailer
The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less than 
200 lbs (91kg).  Secure the trailer with a appropriately sized 
clevis pin (A, Figure 19) and clip (B).
Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction and loss of 
control on slopes.  Reduce towed weight when operating on 
slopes.  The surface being driven on greatly impacts traction 
and stability.  Wet or slippery surfaces can greatly reduce 
traction and the ability to stop or turn.  Carefully evaluate 
the surface conditions before operating the unit and trailer, 
and never operate on slopes greater than 10°.  See SLOPE 
OPERATION and TOWED EQUIPMENT in the safety section 
of this manual for additional safety information.

Proper Mulching
Mulching consists of a mower deck which cuts and recuts 
clippings into tiny particles and which then blows them 
down INTO the lawn. These tiny particles decompose rapidly 
into by-products your lawn can use. UNDER PROPER 
CONDITIONS, your mulching mower will virtually eliminate 
noticeable clippings on the lawn surface.
NOTE: When mulching under heavy cutting conditions, a 
rumbling sound may be present and is normal.
Mulching Requires EXCELLENT Mowing 
Conditions 
Mulching mowers cannot function properly if the grass is 
wet, or if the grass is simply to high to cut. Even more than 
normal mowing, mulching requires that the grass be dry and 
the the appropriate amount is cut. 
Do not use the mower as a mulching mower during the first 
two or three mowings in the spring. The long grass blades, 
quick growth, and often wetter conditions are more suitable 
for broadcasting (side-discharging) or grass bagging 
operation. 
Engine Speed & Ground Speed for Mulching
Use full engine throttle matched with a slow ground speed 
so that clippings will be finely cut.  Ground speed while 
mulching should be HALF of the speed that would be 
used when broadcasting (side discharging) under similar 
conditions. Since mulching requires more horsepower 
than broadcasting, using a slower ground speed is vitally 
important for proper mulching operation.
How Much Grass to Mulch
The best mulching action typically results from cutting only 
the top 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of grass blade. This provides 
short clippings which decompose properly (much more 
quickly than longer clippings). The ideal cutting height will 
vary with climate, time of year, and quality of your lawn. We 
recommend that you experiment with both the cutting height 
and ground speed until you achieve the best cut. Start with 
a high cutting height and using progressively lower settings 
until you find a cutting height that is matched to your 
mowing conditions and preferences.
