Rover Mowers Limited MULCH 'N CATCHTM Congratulations on your purchase of a Rover Mulch ‘N Catch mower with the exclusive Patent Pending Rover Vari-Tilt System. The Rover Mulch ‘N Catch is a convertible mower. This allows you to use the mower with the grass catcher fitted to the mower, (to pick up the grass cuttings) or remove the grass catcher and fit with the mulching plug to mulch the grass.
Rover Mowers Limited MULCH 'N CATCHTM 1. INTRODUCTION 2. SETTING UP 1.1 Mulching 2.1 Multipurpose The Rover Mulch ‘N Catch mower setup as a mulching mower (grass catcher removed and mulch plug fitted) reduces the grass clippings into very fine particles. The design allows for the even distribution of the grass particles at the base of the lawn. The mulched clippings can then: • Break down quickly, releasing nutrients into the soil, saving on fertiliser costs.
Rover Mowers Limited MULCH 'N CATCHTM 2.6 Vari-Tilt Conbar System (Figure. 3): 2.3 Installing the Mulch Plug for Models 50m, 51m, 60m, 61m & 80m (Figure 2): The Rover Vari-Tilt System (Patent Pending) is fitted to provide improved performance. Generally it is recommended that the Conbar is at it’s longest length for Mulch Mowing and it’s shortest for Catch Mowing. These recommendations may not suit your grass conditions in which case you should adjust to suit.
Rover Mowers Limited MULCH 'N CATCHTM 3. MAINTENANCE 6. Tighten the blade nuts to 16 Nm. Check that the blades are free to move when the nut is tensioned. 7. Remove the flap prop and replace the spark plug wire. 3.1 General Mower Maintenance Refer to your Rotary Lawnmower Owner’s Manual, Maintenance Section. 3.2 Mulching Equipment WARNING Before working on the mower. * Stop the engine * Remove the spark plug wire For optimum mulching performance: • The mulching blades are to be kept sharp.
Rover Mowers Limited • MULCH 'N CATCHTM • Run the engine at full throttle. Running the engine at low speed does not allow the blades to mulch the grass efficiently. Keep the underside of the base and mulch plug clean. Buildup of grass under the base blocks the air flow created by the mulch blade and reduces the mulching performance. If a trail of grass is visible raise the cutting height of the mower.
