Frequently Asked Questions - MK26 HUSQVARNA

What is the role of the deflector shield?

The deflector shield protects the user from debris. It should not be removed. It must be lifted and held when attaching the mulching plug, then allowed to rest on it during use.

How to install the mulching plug of the MK26 kit?

Fully lower the accessory lift lever, lift the deflector shield, then position the mulching plug over the deck opening. Hook the front and rear hooks into the designated holes.

Can I use the mower without the mulching plug?

Yes, simply remove the mulching plug and store it. The mower will then be in discharge or bagging mode.

How to maintain the mulching kit?

After each use, clean the parts to prevent grass and debris buildup. Keep the mower deck clean for better performance.

When is it best to mow with mulching?

It is recommended to mow in the early afternoon when the grass is dry. Avoid mowing wet grass as it clumps and hinders shredding.

What cutting height do you recommend for mulching?

Set the cutting height to cut only the top third of the grass. For a more vigorous cut, reduce the cutting range and walk slower.

Should I change the mowing direction regularly?

Yes, vary the mowing direction each week (e.g., north-south one week, east-west the next) to maintain an even and tidy lawn.

What to do if the grass is not well shredded?

You can make a second pass at a diagonal or perpendicular direction to the first. Also ensure the mower is clean and the blades are sharp.

What spare parts are available for the MK26 kit?

The complete kit has reference 429758. Spare parts include the mounting hook (160793), weld nut (2029J), washers (19061216 and 10071000), and screw (71081010).

B MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.

• The blades will recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action. The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the direct sun.
• For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades. For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut and mow slowly.

B

• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second time to completely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across or perpendicular to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south one week then change to east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn.
