Slide two hooks of side discharge chute under hinge pin on 
mulching plug assembly. Lower the mulching plug. Do not 
remove side mulching plug at any time, even when you are 
not mulching.

Adjustments

Cutting Height

Each wheel has a height adjustment lever to change the cutting 
height of the mower.

Depress height adjustment lever towards wheel.
Slide lever to desired position for a change in cutting 
height. See Fig. 3-8.

Release lever towards deck.

IMPORTANT: 

All wheels must be placed in the same 

relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the 
height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will stop 
scalping of grass.
