Bagging Grass Clippings
This mower can bag grass clippings. For that, you will
have to install the grass bag on to the unit.
• Remove the three wing nuts holding the mulching
baffle or side discharge chute in place. Then
remove the plug or the chute as the case may be.
See Figure 11.

Emptying Your Grass Bag
• Lift grass bag from the bagging adapter using the
lower handle of the grass bag. While holding the
lower handle, lift up the rear section of the grass
bag. See Figure 13. The bag will open and grass
clippings will fall out. Empty the grass bag at a
proper disposal site.
Side-Discharge Grass Clippings
This mower can also side-discharge grass clippings.
For that, you will have to install the side-discharge
chute on to the unit.
• Remove mulching baffle or grass bag adapter. See
Figure 11.
• Attach discharge chute with wing nuts. See Figure
14. Once the side-discharge chute is in place, you
can run the mower and the grass clippings will be
discharged sideways.

Mulching Grass
• When the mulching baffle is installed on the unit,
the mower is used to mulch grass clippings. If the
mulching baffle is not already installed, you will
have to remove the grass bag or side-discharge
chute as the case may be, and install the mulching
baffle for the purpose. Make sure wing nuts
securing the mulching baffle to the deck (Figure 11)
are firmly tightened before starting to mulch.
