Install the Mulch Plug or Grass
Bag
No Parts Required
Procedure
You must correctly install the mulch plug (for mulching
or side-discharging) or grass bag (for bagging) or the
engine will not start.
The mower has a safety switch, located at the bottom
of a channel on the top, right rear of the mower, that
prevents the mower from operating without a mulch
plug or grass bag. This prevents the mower from
throwing debris at the operator through the rear chute.
For the switch to detect the presence of the mulch plug,
the top of the mulch plug lever must lie fully in the
bottom of the channel (Figure 13).

already installed (Figure 14).
2. Squeeze the button on the lever with your thumb
and fully insert the mulch plug into the opening
(Figure 14).
3. Release the button on the lever and ensure that the
top of the lever is lies fully in the switch channel. If
the top of the lever is not in the switch channel,
your mower will not start!
Note: If the lever does not latch properly,
disconnect the wire from the spark plug and check
for and remove any debris buildup in the tunnel.
