Mulching the Clippings

Your mower comes from the factory ready to mulch 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 mulching 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 mulching the clippings.
Important: The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from starting the mower unless you first
install the mulch plug securely on the mower.
Install the mulch plug as illustrated in Figure 28.
