Stopping the Engine

Important: When you release the blade control
bar, the blade should stop within 3 seconds. If

Recycling the Clippings

Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the mower, remove it (refer to
Removing the Grass Bag) before recycling the clippings.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before recycling the clippings.
Important: Ensure that the rear discharge plug
is locked in place. To lock the plug: Raise the
discharge deflector (Figure 17), firmly push the
plug in until it snaps into place behind the tabs, and
rotate the lever on the plug to the left (Figure 18).
