Mulching Plug (HRR, HRT)
The mulching plug helps to curve
the inside of the mower deck for
more efficient mulching.
Install and remove the mulching
plug by raising the rear door as
shown. The mulching plug only
fits one way. Remove the
mulching plug when using a grass
bag.
Side Discharge Chute
(HRS, HRT)
To discharge clippings to the side,
install the side discharge chute as
shown here. On the HRT model,
remove the mulching plug when
using the side discharge chute for
best performance.
Be sure to remove the side
discharge chute when using the
grass bag or mulching.
Cutting Height
Check the mower deck cutting
height settings, and be sure that all
four adjustment levers are set to
the same cutting height position.
Each position changes the height
1/2 inch (13 mm).
To adjust cutting height, pull each
adjustment lever toward the wheel,
and move it into another notch.
If you are not sure what cutting height to select, start with a high
setting and check the appearance of the lawn after mowing a small
area. Readjust cutting height if necessary.
