WARNING: To prevent the engine from starting, dis- connect the wire from the spark plug. Make sure the blade rotation control is in the DISENGAGE position.
The mulcher plate lets you mulch the grass for a clean, fine cut. To discharge the grass out the side or into a grass bagger, remove the mulcher plate as follows.
