Operation; Mulch Plug - Troy-Bilt FLEX 23AAAA8X711 Manual Del Operador

Operation

Thank you for purchasing the Troy-bilt FLEX™ mower
attachment. This unit is fully assembled and requires no setup.
The following instructions will guide you through use and
operation of your new attachment, along with maintenance
instructions and procedures.

Mulch Plug

The Troy-bilt FLEX™ mowing attachment is equipped with a
mulch plug and special blades already installed on your mowing
attachment as standard equipment, which recirculate the grass
clippings repeatedly beneath the cutting deck. The ultra-fine
clippings are then forced back into the lawn where they act as a
natural fertilizer. Observe the following points for the best results
when mulching:
• Do NOT attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet
grass tends to stick to the underside of the cutting deck
preventing proper mulching of the clippings.
• Do NOT attempt to mulch more than 1⁄3 the total height of
the grass. Doing so will cause the clippings to clump up
beneath the deck and not be mulched effectively.
• Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass clippings
more time to effectively be mulched.
Discharge Chute
WARNING!
Before installing or removing the
discharge chute, disengage blades, stop the engine
and remove key if so equipped to prevent
unintended starting.
A side discharge chute has been included with this attachment
in the event the operator wishes to discharge rather than mulch
the grass clippings. To install the side discharge chute, follow
these instructions:
1. Stop the engine and wait for all parts to stop moving.
2. Pivot the mulch plug upwards, exposing the hinge mount.
See Figure 4-1.
3. With the side discharge chute pivoted upwards, hook the
tabs on the discharge chute under the hinge pin, as shown
in the inset of Figure 4-1, and pivot the discharge chute
downward and into place.
Note: The mulch plug will rest on top of the discharge
chute, and retain it in place.
To remove the discharge chute:
1. Pivot the mulch plug upwards.
2. Lift the side discharge chute upwards and away from the
mowing deck.
3. Allow the mulch plug to pivot back downward into place.
