Setup and

Adjustments

NOTE: All wheels must be in the same height of cut.

When cutting in heavy or moist grass, the rear

of the lawnmower may be raised higher to

allow better discharge of the grass.

7.If your mower is equipped with an optional mulching baffle, install it as shown in Figure 8.

a.Lift up and hold the side-discharge chute deflector and insert bottom lip of the mulching baffle inside the chute opening.

b.Push the hooks on the top of the baffle until they snap over the hinge on the discharge chute. Release the chute deflector.

NOTE: When you wish to mow instead of mulch, simply raise the chute deflector, grasp the handle on the mulching baffle and lift upward to remove the baffle. It is not necessary to remove the mulching blade.
