Mulching Guidelines
To ensure acceptable mulching performance:
The length of grass to be cut in one pass •
should not exceed 1/3 of the total grass height.
Example: If grass height is 3", the mower deck
cutting height should be set at not less than 2".
Ground speed should normally be reduced to •
allow clippings to be nely mulched.
Engine RPM should be set at maximum.•
Blades must be kept sharp.•
The underside of deck should be cleaned out •
often to prevent grass accumulation.
Conditions must be dry. Wet grass does not •
mulch well and grass accumulates under deck.
Install the kit mulching blades using the existing 7.
blade bolt (torque to 90 ft./lbs.).
Rotate the blades by hand and check for 8.
clearance of all bafes.
Make sure all hardware is tight. 9.
Remove blocks and return the mower to its normal 10.
position.
