INSTALLING THE UPPER HANDLE
• Align the upper handle (1) with the lower
handle (2) on both sides. Slide the handle
bolts (3) through the holes in the handles
and tighten with the handle knobs (4) on
both sides. If the connection is not stiff,
hand tighten the handle knobs.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten the handle knobs.
INSTALLING THE GRASS CATCHER
BAG
• Lift the rear discharge door (1).
• Lift the grass catcher by its handle (2) and
place under the rear discharge door so
that the hooks (3) on the grass catcher are
seated on the door rod (4).
• Release the rear discharge door. When
installed correctly, the hooks on the grass
catcher will extend through the openings on
the rear discharge door.
NOTE:
When using the grass catcher, do not
install either the side discharge deflector or
the mulching plug.
INSTALLING/REMOVING THE
MULCHING PLUG
• To remove the mulching plug, lift the rear
discharge door (1).
• Grasp the handle (2) of the mulching plug
and pull the mulching plug out using the
handle.
• The mulching plug (3) is inserted at an
angle, so it requires some force to remove
it.
• The mulching plug must be removed in
order to install the grass catcher bag.
• The mulching plug must be re-installed
when the grass catcher bag is removed.
NOTE:
When mulching, do not install either
the side discharge deflector or the grass
catcher bag.
