Insert the long right hand side of the mulch plug first into the rear chute of the
mower. Refer to figures 8 and 10.
Rotate the left hand side into the rear chute of the mower and push it as far
forward as possible.
Align the two locating pins (1) (on the underside of the mulch plug) with the slots

mulch plug until the lower face rests flat on top of the back ledge of the mower
base. Refer to figures 9 & 11.
Lower the rear flap. NB. To ensure the mulch plug is correctly seated, the rear
flap should close against the vertical face of the mulch plug legs with clearance to
the horizontal extensions.
