ARNING:
This blade control
is a safety device.
Never attempt
to bypass its operations.
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.

of the upper handle
and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze it against the upper

is located
on the left side of the handle and
when activated,

the engine

clippings
to the side instead, follow
the instructions
in the
Assembly
& Set-Up section
to attach the side discharge
chute.
