A higher cut may be needed to protect the lawn during hot summer months.  Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden center for advice about specific types of grasses  and growing conditions in your area.  Most grasses should be cut when they have grown 1/2 to 1 inch above the recommended  height. If your grass gets too ta

                        3. MOWING AND MULCHING  MULCHING  Mulching cuts grass clippings and fallen leaves into fine particles that fall through the turf and  decompose quickly. This returns nutrients to the soil and reduces'the need for raking, bagging, and  disposal.  For best mulching results, mow the lawn frequently, cutting off less than one inch of grass each time.  In growing season, you will probably need to mow the lawn twice a week.  This mulching kit closes the discharge port in the mower deck and adds swirl

                        3. MOWING AND MULCHING RECOMMENDATIONS  SIDE-DISCHARGE MOWING  Side-discharge mowing should be considered where grass has grown too tall to mulch easily.  Side-discharge mowing will leave grass clippings on top of the mowed areas and may need to be  removed by raking. Heavy clumps of clippings should always be removed; grass must remain uncovered  to grow properly.  For side-discharge mowing, you must remove the mower deck cover plate and swirl guide B, then install  the original discharge chute

                        3. MOWING AND MULCHING  ~~ ~  BAGGING  Bagging should be considered for areas where you want the lawn to be clear of loose particles, such  as around swimming pools, and for less frequently mowed areas, where grass has grown too tall to  mulch easily.  For bagging, you must remove the mower deck cover plate and swirl guide B, then install the bagging  kit. It is not necessary to remove or replace other parts of the mulching kit, but a high-lift blade can be  installed to increase bagging perform
