Grass Catcher (If Equipped)
The grass catcher, located at the rear of the mower, is used to bag
the grass clippings for disposal at another site. Once the bag is
full, it has to be removed from the mower and emptied before
any further mowing.
Side Discharge Chute (If Equipped)
Your mower is shipped as a mulcher. To discharge the grass
clippings to the side instead, follow the instructions in the
"Assembly & Set-Up" section to attach the side discharge chute.
Mulch Plug (If Equipped)
The mulch plug is used for mulching purposes. Instead of
collecting the grass clippings in a grass catcher or using the
side discharge chute, some mower models have the option
of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn. This is called
mulching.
Deck Wash
WARNING:
Keep hands and feet away from the
chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label
on the unit.
