ASSEMBLY
ATTACHING/REMOVING THE MULCHING PLUG
(See Figs. 11-13)
Do not at any time make any adjustment to the lawn mower without first stopping the motor and
disconnecting the plug form power source.
The mower is designed to disperse the clippings
back to the lawn. Pull up the side discharge door and
insert the side discharge chute. The side discharge is
optional, if you do not need, you can take it off.
WARNING
NOTE:
Mulch plug MUST be removed if collection bag is used during mowing operation.
The mulching plug (7) prevents grass from being collected by blocking the collection chute.
This allows the grass clippings to be deposited back on the lawn during cutting.
■ Lift the safety flap (9) and detach the grass collection bag.
■ Open the safety flap (9), hold it in position and insert the mulching plug into the rear discharge
chute (Fig. 12). Ensure the locking button snaps into place, as picture shown (Fig. 13).
■ Press the locking button to release and remove the mulching plug (Fig. 14).
