Convert the lawn mower
Your lawn mower was shipped ready to be used in
mulching mode.
The mulching mode will recut the grass clippings many
times, which will reduce the clippings in size so that as
they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and
not be noticed. In addition, the mulched grass will
biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn.
Use rear bagging to collect the grass clippings within the
grass catcher.
!
WARNING! Do not run your lawn mower
without rear door closed or approved
grass catcher in place. Never attempt to
operate the lawn mower with the rear
door removed or propped open.
Rear bagging
1 Lift the back shield and remove the mulch plug.
2 Lift the back shield and place the grass catcher frame
hooks onto the grass bag brackets.
3 Release the back shield and allow it to rest on top of
the grass bag frame.
Mulching
1 Lift the back shield and remove the grass bag (if
equipped).
2 Insert the mulch plug into the collector channel.
3 Allow the back shield to close and ensure the back
shield is firmly shut against the mulch plug.
Rear-side discharging
1 Lift the back shield and remove the mulch plug or
grass bag (if equipped).
2 Install the discharge chute.
3 Close the back shield to allow the machine to
discharge material to the left of the machine while
cutting.
