MulchPlug (ifequipped)
On tractor
models
so equipped,
a mulch plug can be found
within
the cutting
deck's discharge
opening.
NOTE: Refer to Mulching
in the "Operation"
section
of this
manual for more detailed
information.
If you'd
prefer to operate
the cutting
deck without
mulching,
simply remove the mulch plug by unthreading
the plastic
wing nut which fastens
it to the cutting
deck. This will allow
the clippings
to discharge
out of the discharge
opening
during
operation.
