Installing the Mulch Plug or
the Grass Bag
No Parts Required
Procedure
You must correctly install either the mulch plug (for
recycling or side-discharging the grass clippings) or
the grass bag; otherwise,
the engine will not start .
The machine has a safety switch (located at the
bottom of the channel on the upper right rear of the
machine) that prevents the machine from operating
without a mulch plug or a grass bag in place. This
prevents the machine from throwing debris at you
through the rear opening.
For the switch to detect the mulch plug, the top of the
mulch plug lever must
lie fully in the bottom of the
channel ( Figure 7 ).
