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 in place before you recycle the clippings
(Figure 20).
Side-discharging the
Clippings
Use the side discharge for cutting very tall grass.
If the bag is on the mower, remove it and insert the
rear discharge plug (refer to Removing the Grass Bag)
before side-discharging the clippings.
Important: Ensure that the rear discharge
plug is in place before you recycle the clippings
(Figure 21).
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can
result in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operating position.
Installing the Side Discharge Chute
