Mulching Plug
The mulching plug helps to
curve the inside of the
mower deck for more
efficient mulching.
Install and remove the
mulching plug by raising
the discharge guard as
shown. The mulching plug
only fits one way. Remove
the mulching plug when
using a grass bag.
Grass Bag
HIGH
A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the
bag, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag
before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging
performance will diminish after the bag becomes about 90% filled.
LOW
Also, the bag is easier to empty when it is not packed full.
Inspection
During normal use, the grass bag material is subject to deterioration
and wear.
