Attaching Grass Catcher To Mower
NOTE: The mulching baffle is already in place on the
mower for shipping purposes. Your lawn mower is
equipped with both a mulching baffle and a mulching
plug. While the mulching baffle is located at the rear of
the mower, the mulching plug is located on the right
side of the cutting deck. Do not remove the mulching
plug from the mower even when you are not mulching.
• To remove the mulching baffle, lift the rear
discharge door on the mower. Remove the
mulching baffle. See Figure 7.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure cable is routed to the outside of
the handle so they are not in the way when attaching
the grass catcher.
• Lift the rear discharge door on the mower.
• Place the hooks on the grass catcher into the slots
in the handle bracket assemblies. See Figure 8.
Release the rear discharge door.
• To remove the grass catcher, lift the rear
discharge door on the mower. Lift the grass catcher
up, out of the slots in the handle bracket
assemblies. Release the rear discharge door.
WARNING: Never operate the mower
unless the hooks on the grass catcher are
firmly seated in the slots on the handle
bracket assemblies, and the rear discharge
door rests firmly against the top of the grass
catcher.
