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 on page 13) 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 on
page 14) before recycling the clippings.
Important: Ensure that
the rear discharge plug
is in place before you
recycle the clippings.
