Installing the Mulch Plug or
the Grass Bag
No Parts Required
Procedure
You must correctly install either the mulch plug (for recycling
or side-discharging the grass clippings) or the grass bag;
otherwise, the engine will not start.
The machine has a safety switch (located at the bottom of the
channel on the upper right rear of the machine) that prevents
the machine from operating without a mulch plug or a grass
bag in place. This prevents the machine from throwing debris
at the operator through the rear opening.
For the switch to detect the mulch plug, the top of the mulch
plug lever must lie fully in the bottom of the channel
(Figure 7).

3. Release the button on the lever and ensure that the top
of the lever is lies fully in the switch channel

channel, your machine will not start!
