Converting to Side-Discharge
Your mower has been shipped as a mulcher. To 
convert it to a side-discharge mower, lift the 
mulching plug. Slide the two hooks on the side-
discharge deflector under the hinge pin on the 
mulching plug assembly. Lower the mulching plug. 
See Figure 9 .

Do not remove the side mulching plug at any time, 
even when you are not mulching.
