MTD 616 Identifying the Mulch Plug, Tire Pressure, WARNING Maximum tire pres, if so equipped

Identifying the Mulch Plug

(if so equipped)

On tractor models so equipped, a mulch plug can either be found within the cutting deck’s discharge opening or packed separately with your unit.

NOTE: Refer to Mulching on page 19 for more detailed information.

If you’d prefer to operate the cutting deck without mulch- ing, simply remove the mulch plug by unthreading the plastic wing nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This will allow the clippings to discharge out of the discharge opening during operation. See Figure 3-7.
