ASSEMBLYPROCEDURES

Mulching Plug (Mulch or Catch models only)

Stop the engine and set the mower height setting.

Mulching is most effective between height settings 4 and 10.

Lift the rear flap and identify the support plate as shown. Note the orientation of the mulching plug.

Insert the mulching plug into the baseplate.

Ensure that the mulching plug is resting on the support plate and is positioned against the inside of the baseplate. Push the mulching plug down so that it rests flush against the rear cross member.

Close the rear flap ensuring that it closes fully. The rear flap should rest on the mulching plug as shown in the sectional illustration.

STOP the engine before inserting or removing the mulching insert.
