Mulch Plug
The mulch plug is used for mulching purposes.
Instead of collecting the grass clippings in
a grass catcher or using the side discharge
chute, some mower models have the option
of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn.
This is called mulching.
Side Discharge Chute
Your mower is shipped as a mulcher. To
discharge the grass clippings to the side, follow
the instructions on page 7 in the Assembly &
Set-Up section to attach the side discharge
chute.
Deck Wash
Your mower's deck is equipped with a fast
attach deck wash nozzle on its surface as part
of its deck wash system. Use the deck wash to
rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside.
