Install the Rear-discharge Plug
or Grass Bag
No Parts Required
Procedure
You must correctly install the rear-discharge plug (for
recycling or side-discharging the clippings) or grass bag (for
bagging the clippings) or the engine will not start.
The machine has a safety switch, located at the bottom of a
channel on the top, right rear of the machine, that prevents
the machine from operating without a rear-discharge plug or
grass bag. This prevents the machine from throwing debris
at the operator through the rear chute.
For the switch to detect the presence of the rear-discharge
plug, the top of the rear-discharge plug lever must lie fully in
the bottom of the channel (Figure 10).
