Mulching or Side-Discharge Mowing
You can use the mower either as a mulching mower or
as a side-discharge mower. To use the mulching feature,
insert the mulch plug as described below. Remove the
mulch plug to side-discharge grass clippings. The
mulch plug is designed to keep the discharge chute
raised up while mowing. When the plug is removed, the
discharge chute will lower itself for side-discharge
mowing.
To install or remove mulch plug:
1.
Stop the engine and wait for all parts to stop moving.
2.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
3.
Remove the ignition key on electric start models.
4.
To install the mulch plug, insert the right-side tab (A)
of the plug into the bracket on the deck, Figure 4-3.
5.
Insert the mulch plug into the discharge opening
(B), Figure 4-3.
6.
After the mulch plug has been placed into the deck
opening, push the plug towards the rear of the
mower (C) to fit the plug properly into the opening,
Figure 4-3.
7.
To remove the plug, slide the cover to the right (front
of mower) to disengage the slot from the mower
deck and then pry the left-side of the plug out and
off.
WARNING: Before installing or removing
mulch plug, stop engine, wait for parts to
stop moving, and disconnect spark plug
wire. Remove ignition key on electric start
models.
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away
from the discharge opening of the cutting
deck.
