Using mulching plug
The mulching plug allows you to return the cut grass
to the ground without gathering the cut grass in the
grass basket. When you operate the machine with the
mulching plug, be sure to remove the grass basket or
discharge chute.
NOTICE:
When using the machine with the
mulching plug, make sure that the total length of
grass after cutting is 30 mm (1-3/16") or more, and
the cut length is 15 mm (9/16") or less.

The discharge chute allows you to discharge the cut
grass to the ground from the right side of the machine
without gathering the cut grass in the grass basket.
When you operate the machine with the discharge
chute, be sure to remove the grass basket and mulch-
ing plug.
