mounted in all holes in the mower housing.
• Install the hardware in the mounting holes
when you remove the mulching baffle.

Important: Ensure the mower has a hinged
grass deflector that disperses clippings to the
side and down toward the turf, while in side
discharge mode.
Installing the Right Baffle for Mulching
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers outward to park
position, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.

and secure it using 2 knobs and curved washers
(cupped side facing the mower) as shown in

Important: Ensure that the tab on the far right
side of the right baffle is outside of the mower
and is flush with the mower wall.

Operating Tips

Fast Throttle Setting
For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate
the engine at the Fast position. Air is required to
thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the
height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower
by uncut grass. Always try to have one side of the
mower free from uncut grass, which allows air to be
drawn into the mower.
