It's import to keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass build-up. This buildup will
decrease mulching quality, and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by
holding a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If
necessary, mow a number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the engine has been turned off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary
is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately turn
off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the
blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.
USING AS MULCHER
The mulching process recuts grass clipping several times within the
enclosed mower deck. This renders clippings small enough to be dispersed
within the blades of grass and redistributed back onto the lawn's ecosystem.
Mulching is best when the grass is not wet or dewy. For best mulching
results only cut the top 1/3 of your grass height. This sometimes requires
more frequent mowing during peak season.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the grass catcher and slide the
mulch plug into the rear deck opening, and close the rear shield.
USING AS SIDE DISCHARGE
You should fit the mulching adapter in order to use the side discharge.
1. On the side of the mower, lift the side discharge cover.
2. Slide two hooks of side discharge chute under hinge pin on the side
discharge cover. Lower the side discharge cover.
Caution: Do not remove side discharge cover at any time.
USING AS A REAR BAGGER
To use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are operating the mower.
1. Attached grass catcher following instruction in the lawn mower preparation. Grass clippings will
automatically collect in bag as you run the mower. Operate mower until grass catcher is full.
2. Stop engine completely by releasing the engine start/stop lever. Make sure that the engine has come
to a complete stop.
3. Lift rear discharge door and pull grass catcher up and away from the mower to remove the grass
catcher. Dispose of the grass clippings and reinstall the grass catcher when complete.
Warning: If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove spark plug wire, thoroughly
inspect mower for any damage, and repair damage before restarting and operating. Excessive
vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The mower should be
promptly inspected and repaired.
