John Deere 38-inch Tri-Cycler Mulching Kit - BM17921

John Deere 38-inch Tri-Cycler Mulching Kit

• Adjust baffle to the proper opening;.
• The adjustable baffle can be moved to one of five positions to match conditions using the convenient wing nuts.
  • When mulching grass, the operator should start with the baffle set in the highest position (greatest opening).
  • In drier conditions or when mulching leaves, the baffles can be moved down to reduce the amount of material that is discharged.
    

Note:The holes in the adjustable baffle are intended for leaf mulching. When mulching dry leaves, the holes will allow some air and leaf particles to escape, reducing blow-out in other areas of the mower. However, when mulching grass, these holes can be expected to plug.

• Mow when the grass is dry.
• Observe the 1/3 rule.
  • No more than 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut off at one time; this allows more efficient mulching and will promote the continued good health of the grass. If the desired cut height can't be achieved by cutting off 1/3, or there is clumping of the clippings, it may be required to cut higher. Wait a day then lower the mower and make a second pass.
• Mow at proper intervals - approximately every 4 to 5 days.
• Always mow with a sharp blade.
  

Bagging:

• Remove Tricycler attachment and install the appropriate medium or high lift blade.
  

Side-discharging:

• Deflector ramp and discharge cover must be removed.
• Special mulching blade may be used if satisfactory results are achieved. If not, remove and replace with standard blade.
