REAR DISCHARGE SYSTEM:

Allows you to cut the grass without using the grass collector, discharging it directly from the back of the lawn mower.

Simply remove the grass collector and the rear discharge system will automatically operates.

MULCHING CUTTING SYSTEM:

This system allows cutting grass without catching it inside the collector, and crushing the clippings into a fine powder before dropping them on the lawn.

To convert the machine for the mulching cut, simply remove the grass collector, enter the mulching plug supplied and lower the rear deflector, which automatically activate the mulching cutting system.

WHAT IS MULCHING:
This grass mowing system allows crushing grass clippings and dropping them on the ground. The resulting grass particles are so small, they will be barely noticeable on the lawn. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing any effort and shortening the time-saving). Moreover, grass clippings will break down into nutrients and water for the lawn (grass is 80% water) and will thus ensure a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, to ensure the greatest mulching results, the lawn should be irrigated and the grass needs cutting at least once a week.

SIDE DISCHARGE SYSTEM:

This system allows mowing grass without collecting the clippings inside the grass collector (it is also possible to collect grass a bit higher than normal, due to the high disposal capacity of the side exhaust deflector).

Leaving the mulching plug inserted, in order not to occlude the rear discharge of the grass, simply lift the black carter on the side of the body and enter the side deflector supplied with a simple gesture.
