Lift the grass catcher up, out of the slots in the handle bracket assemblies.

WARNING: Never operate the mower unless the hooks on the grass catcher are seated in the slots on the handle bracket assemblies, and the rear discharge door rests firmly against the top of the grass catcher.

Converting to Side Discharge

Your mower has been shipped as a mulcher. To convert it to a side-discharge mower, lift the mulching plug. Slide the two hooks on the side- discharge deflector under the hinge pin on the mulching plug assembly. Lower the mulching plug. See Figure 10 .

Do not remove the side mulching plug at any time, even when you are not mulching.
