Mulching Plug (HRM536C)
The mulching plug [1] contours the
mower deck for efficient mulching.
You can quickly remove the plug to
install a grass bag or side-discharge
chute, which are available as optional
equipment.
Raise the discharge guard [2] to
remove or install the mulching plug.
When installing, be sure the plug is
fully inserted, and the discharge
guard is closed.
Cutting Height
Check the mower deck cutting height
settings, and be sure that all four
adjustment levers [1] are set to the
same cutting height position.
To adjust cutting height, pull each
adjustment lever [1] toward the
wheel, and move it into another
notch.
If you are not sure what cutting height
to select, start with a high setting and
check the appearance of the lawn
after mowing a small area. Then
readjust cutting height if necessary.
ARE YOU Ready to Mow?
Be sure to wear protective clothing. Long pants and eye protection can lower
your risk of injury from thrown objects. Wear footwear that protects your feet
and won't let you slip if you mow on slopes or uneven ground.
