material against a wall or obstruction which may

• Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit
or grass collector is installed.
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.
• For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be
cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the
first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge
to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
better appearance to the lawn.
• Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed
growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.
• Mowing should always be done with the engine at full throttle.
• Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back
over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.

• Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and
extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns,
NOT clear brush.

Refer to Cutting Blades in the Service section of this manual
for proper blade sharpening instructions.

Mulching
Select models come equipped with a mulch kit which

incorporates special blades, already standard on the tractor, in a
process of recirculating grass clippings repeatedly beneath the
cutting deck. The ultra-fine clippings are then forced back into
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
the lawn where they act as a natural fertilizer.
Observe the following points for the best results when mulching:
• Never attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet grass
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.
tends to stick to the underside of the cutting deck
preventing proper mulching of the clippings.
• Do NOT attempt to mulch more than 1/3 the total height of
the grass or approximately 1-1/2 inches. Doing so will cause
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
the clippings to clump up beneath the deck and not be
mulched effectively.
• Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass clippings

• Always position the throttle control lever in the FAST
(rabbit) position and allow it to remain there while mowing.

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the discharge chute to
operate the mower with the mulch kit installed.
WARNING!
Never operate the mower without the
discharge chute properly attached.
To operate the cutting deck without mulching, simply remove
the mulch plug. On 38" deck, unthread the plastic wing nut
which fastens it to the cutting deck, as shown in Figure 5-2. This
will allow the clippings to discharge out the side.

Note: If your rider is not equipped with a mulch kit, one can be
purchased. See the Attachments & Accessories section of this
manual for more information.

whenever the ignition key is moved into the lights position,
with the engine running.
