Mulching Plug
The mulching plug helps to curve
the inside of the mower deck for
more efficient mulching.
Install and remove the mulching
plug by raising the rear discharge
guard as shown. The mulching plug
only fits one way. Remove the
mulching plug when using a grass
bag.
Cutting Height
Set all three adjustment levers to
the same cutting height position.
Each position changes the height
approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm).
To adjust the 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. Readjust the cutting height if
necessary.
