RECYCLER® RIDER TIPS TIPS FOR CUTTING GRASS Even with the Recycler® rider, you may encounter conditions where it is not possible to incorporate all of the grass clippings or leaves all of the time into the grass. Follow these instructions for the best cutting results and lawn appearance: * Always use FAST (full) throttle when mowing. * Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season. A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades like a dull blade.
RECYCLE” RIDER TIPS A WARNING Never remove the grass deflector (Fig. 11) from the mower housing. If the discharge cover under the grass deflector is removed in order to side discharge or bag, the grass deflector routes discharged material down toward the turf. If the deflector is ever damaged, replace it.
