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 7.
