WARNING: Do not operate the mower if
any one of the grass catcher, discharge
chute or mulching plug is not firmly
installed on the mower.
• Pivot the cover up and lower the cutting height
adjustment lever to the lowest position.
• Remove the two wing nuts (A and B in Figure 4 )
from two ends of the grasscatcher chute.
• Loosen the two wing nuts (C and D in Figure 4 ) in
the middle of the chute. Do not remove. All four
wing nuts (A, B, C, and D) hold the chute to the
deck frame.
• Slide the grasscatcher chute to the right and out of
the deck frame.
• Slide the side-discharge chute in and place it on the
deck so that the four wing nut positions align with
those on the deck.
• Reinsert wing nuts A and B that you had earlier
removed. Tighten to secure.
Figure 4
• Tighten the two wing nuts C and D. Check and
make sure that the side-discharge chute is properly
installed and the hardware tightly secured.
Attaching Mulch Plug
While operating your rider mower, you have three
options: (i) to collect grass clippings in the grass
catcher, (ii) to discharge grass clippings on the side, or
(iii) to mulch grass and recirculate clippings back to the
lawn. For the third option, attach the mulching plug to
the side-discharge chute and then to the deck.
• To assemble the mulching plug, put two hex bolts
through the mulching plug at the respective
openings. See Figure 5 .
• Place speed nuts over the hex bolts.
• Insert the plug into the side-discharge chute
aligning the two slots on two sides of the side-
discharge chute with those on the mulching plug.
• To attach the mulching plug now to the unit, follow
instructions on previous page to attach side-
discharge chute to the deck.
Figure 5
• Place wing nut on each of the hex bolts and thread
a few turns. See Figure 5 . Check that the plug is
aligned correctly within the discharge chute.
• Tighten both wing nuts
