BEFORE OPERATION
Mulching Plug (HRM215)
The mulching plug contours the
mower deck for efficient mulching.
You can quickly remove the plug
to install a grass bag or
side-discharge chute, which are
available as optional equipment.
Raise the discharge guard to
remove or install the mulching
plug. When installing, be sure the
plug is fully inserted, and the
discharge guard is closed.
Cutting Height
Check the mower deck cutting
height settings, and be sure that
all four adjustment levers are set
to the same cutting height
position.
To adjust cutting height, pull each
adjustment lever toward the
wheel, and move it into another
notch.
If you are not sure what cutting
height to select, start with a high
setting and check the appearance
of the lawn after mowing a small
area. Then readjust cutting height
if necessary.
