Mulch Plug (if equipped)
On tractor models so equipped, a mulch plug can be found within the cutting deck’s discharge opening.
NOTE: Refer to Mulching in the “Operation” section of this manual for more detailed information.
If you’d prefer to operate the cutting deck without mulching, 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 Fig.
