General
With a mulching kit, a conventional lawn
mower can be converted into a mulching
mower. For this purpose, the mowing
blade must be replaced with the mulching
blade and the grass catcher box must be
replaced with the mulch insert.
To enable the machine to be used again
as a grass collector, the mulching blade
must be replaced again with the mowing
blade.
