Cleaning the Discharge Tunnel and Plug

Remove the plug from the discharge tunnel and clean it after each use.

Always be sure that the discharge tunnel door closes securely when you release the handle. If the debris prevents the discharge door from closing securely, clean the inside of the discharge tunnel and the door thoroughly.

Warning

Grass clippings and other objects can be thrown from an open discharge tunnel and cause serious injury or kill the operator or bystanders.

Never start or operate the lawn mower unless one of the following is true:

•The discharge tunnel plug is locked securely in the discharge tunnel.

•The grass bag is locked in place.

•The optional side discharge chute is locked in place.

•The discharge tunnel door is locked in place.

1.Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2.Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Fig. 9).
