Stopping the Engine

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Ensure that
the engine stops within 3 seconds
after releasing the blade control bar.
To stop the engine, release the blade control bar
(Figure 26).
Important: When you release the blade control
bar, both the engine and blade should stop within
3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using
your mower immediately and contact an Authorized
Service Dealer.

Mulching the Clippings

Your mower comes from the factory ready to mulch 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 mulching 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 mulching the clippings.
Important: The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from starting the mower unless you
first install the mulch plug securely on the mower
(Figure 27).
