This is the number 1. The mulching blade has two sides. The word “bottom” is stamped on most blades, or they have a model number on the underside. Whether a word or a number, that side of the mulching blade must face the ground after it is installed. If you are installing a new mulch blade, you will need to remove the old blade and replace it with the new one.
You can do this by using a screwdriver to pry the blade out of its plastic housing. Be careful not to puncture the plastic, as this can cause the metal to corrode. Once you have removed the existing blade from its housing, use a flat-blade knife to cut a small hole in the top of it. This will allow you to insert the newly installed blade into the hole.
The blade will then slide into place and be ready for the next step. Now that the Mulching Blade is in place, it’s time to put it to good use.

How are mulching blades mounted?
The right way to fit the mulching blade is to have the cutting edge face the ground or install downward flaps or teeth edge at the bottom of the blade.
Which way should mower blades face?
It’s important that the blade’s cutting edge follows the direction of rotation. Any writing on the lawn mower blade will be facing away from the deck, because the wings of the lawn mower blade will be oriented toward the mower deck.
The writing on the blade bolt will face up if it comes with a washer. If you’re using a lawnmower with an electric motor, you’ll want to make sure the motor is turned off before you start mowing. This will prevent the blades from spinning and damaging your lawn.
Which side of mower blade faces down?
If you want to know which side of your lawn mower blade is up, you have to figure out which side is the sharp cutting edge and which side is the blunt edge. The cutting edge should face the grass while the dull edge should be facing away from the lawn.
If you have a lawnmower with an automatic blade, you will need to turn the blade counterclockwise to cut grass. If you do not have one of these blades, turn it clockwise until you find a blade that works for you.
Will mulching blades work with side discharge?
Mulching blades are sometimes called “all purpose” or “3-in-1” blades because you can use them to mulch, bag, or side discharge. Standard blades are called 2-in-1 blades because they can either bag or side discharge the grass. If you have a lawnmower that is equipped with a composting system, you may be able to use it to dispose of your old grasses and other yard waste. To do this, follow these steps: 1.
Place the blade(s) in a plastic bag. Fill the bin with compost. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each blade. You may want to consider using a weed killer, such as Roundup, to kill weeds that are growing in your lawn. You can also use a combination of herbicides and fungicides to control weeds. For more information on weed control, see our Weed Control page.
Do mower blades have to be lined up?
Do mower blades have to be lined up? Blades are lined up when they are fitted to the new machine and held in place by the spindles and the pins so you should not have to touch them. The setting needed to give you the best mowing performance is the way they are set up when they leave the factory.
The number of blades you need depends on the size of your lawn. For example, if you have a large lawn, you will need more blades than a small lawn and vice versa. If you want to mow more than one lawn at a time, it is recommended that you buy a larger lawnmower.
Do mulching blades cut lower?
Mulching blades feature more curves and an increased cutting edge. The Mulching Blade is designed to be used in a variety of applications. It can be placed on the edge of a deck, in the middle of the board, or even on top of it.
In all cases, the mulching blade is used to mulch the top layer of grass, and then the bottom layer is mulched with the same blade. This is a great way to get rid of weeds and keep your deck looking great.
