BEFORE OPERATION
Mulching Plug
To mulch the grass clippings
rather than bag them, install
the mulching plug.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Raise the discharge
guard.
3. Remove the grass bag.
4. Insert the mulching plug
into the discharge chute
at the back of the
mower.
Make sure the tab at the bottom rear of the mulching plug fits
snugly into the slot at the back of the discharge chute.
Cutting Height
To adjust cutting height, pull each adjustment lever toward the wheel
and move it into another notch.
To lower the deck, move the front wheel adjusters backward and the
rear wheel adjusters forward.
To raise the deck, move the front wheel adjusters forward and the rear
wheel adjusters backward.
Move the adjustment lever to the same notch on each wheel.
If you are not sure what cutting height to select, start with a high setting
and mow a small area. If necessary, adjust the cutting height.
