HOW TO CHANGE THE MULCHER PLATE
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.
How To Remove The Mulcher Plate
1. Raise the deflector. Remove the two wingnuts B and two car-
riage bolts A (Figure 11).
2. Lift the mulcher plate away from the mower housing
(Figure 12).
3. Attach wingnuts B and carriage bolts A to the mulcher plate
for future use.
IMPORTANT: There are several different types of grass. Some
types of grass are more difficult to cut. If you remove the
mulcher plate and the grass does not discharge correctly,
replace the blade with a standard blade. The part number of the
standard blade is 92117E701.
How To Install The Mulcher Plate
1. Raise the deflector. Mount the bottom flange of the mulcher
plate to the mower housing (Figure 12).
2. Slide the top of the mulcher plate under the deflector bracket
(Figure 11).
3. Fasten the mulcher plate with two wingnuts B and two car-
riage bolts A.
