Important: When you release the blade control
bar, both the engine and blade should stop within 3

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.
Installing the Discharge Plug
1. Open the discharge door by moving the discharge door
handle rearward (Figure 22).

2. Hold the discharge door fully open and insert the plug
(Figure 22).
Note: Fit the lower section of the plug into the
opening first.
3. Lift the door latch on the door handle and push the top
of the plug all the way in while moving the door handle
rearward (Figure 23).
