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.

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.

This can be caused by a build up of grass clipping on the underside of the hover mover deck, causing it to clog.

Check underneath the mower and scrape off the dried mulch with the plastic scraper supplied with the mower.

The air vents may be blocked with grass trimmings. Clean the air vents to restore performance.

This could be one of three reasons:

1. The line spool is dirty. Check and clean if it is.

2. The spool is defective. Replace the spool if it is defective. Watch the video in the maintenance section above to see how.

3. There is a problem with the motor. Please contact us.

1. Check to see if the trimmer line is worn or damaged, and replace if it is.

2. There is insufficient line. Release more line.

3. The trimming lines are not guided out of the spool correctly. Remove the line spool and rethread the trimming lines through the eyelets. Check the line ends are not held in the parking slots on spool.

Replace the spool if necessary.
