• 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.
