Using the Mulch Mode

Switching your mower to mulch mode stops the mower from collecting the cut grass and instead deposits the clippings onto the lawn surface. The clippings drop to the soil level and degrade, returning nutrients back to the lawn and the grass roots. Keeping your lawn healthy.

Mulch mode is especially good at tackling long grass.

When tackling longer grass, cut the grass once in mulch mode then cut the lawn again in collect mode. This is easier and faster than trying to cut and collect very long grass in one go.

Mulching works best when grass is cut frequently because this will produce smaller grass clippings that more easily drop to the soil level and degrade returning nutrients back to the lawn and the grass roots.

N.B. In dense grass growth, mow the grass using half the available width of your lawn mower, this will reduce load on the lawn mower.

1. Rotate the Mulch Mode Selector switch anti-clockwise to select mulch mode and clockwise to return to collect mode.

2. In collect mode, airflow will be drawn into the collection chute at ground level, this collects the grass clippings as you mow.

3. In mulch mode this collection chute is closed off by the mulch flap and airflow enters through the now open mulch flap opening. This maintains the airflow for hover lift and prevents grass collection.

4. Grass clippings remain on the lawn when the mulch mode is selected and these clippings can be repeatedly cut by the blade.

This can be due the grass being too long. Cut long grass down in stages by gradually lowering the height of cut.

Or, the grass may be too wet. Wait for wet grass to dry.

The mower comes with one spacer pre-fitted and can be set to 4 cutting heights between 12mm and 33mm. Choose the appropriate cutting height according to the condition of your grass.

Watch the video below to see how to change the cutting height of your LawnMaster hover mower:

An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when the mower is running. Left unresolved, this vibration could eventually damage the mower's motor.

To check the blade balance:

1. Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vice. If you don't have a vice, use a straight nail instead.

2. Place the centre hole of blade over the screwdriver (or nail).

3. If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops downward, sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced. Or replace the blade.

4. Always check that the blade bolt is tight and re -tighten if it is loose.
