Mulch Plug
Side Discharge
Chute
Mulch Plug
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.
Side Discharge Chute
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.
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the
chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label
on the unit.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter is attached to the right upper handle. Stand
behind the unit and pull the recoil starter rope to start the unit.
