What is mulching?

§ Regular cut-back by max .2 cm (for example from 6 cm to 4 cm grass height)
§ Make sure the mowing blade is sharp
§ Do not mow wet grass

opening in the housing.

9.4 Mowing tips
§ Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps
of grass clippings. It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the
lawnmower over the area a second time.
§ For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by over lapping previously cut path
and mow slowly.
§ Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers
will collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry
before using.
§ Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will
help engine air flow and extend engine life.
