HOW TO INSTALL THE MULCHER PLATE
The mulcher plate and the mulcher blades are optional attachments that can be added to the mower housing. The mulcher plate
lets you mulch the grass for a clean, fine cut. Install the mulcher
plate and the mulcher blades as follows.
WARNING: To prevent the engine from starting, disconnect the wire from the spark plug. Make sure the
blade rotation control is in the DISENGAGE position.
1. Raise the deflector. Slide the front of the mulcher plate under
the deflector bracket (Figure 1). If necessary, remove grass
from flange.

2. Fasten the mulcher plate with two wingnuts and two carriage
bolts.
To discharge the grass out the side, remove the mulcher plate. Attach the fasteners to the mulcher plate for future use.
HOW TO REMOVE AND INSTALL THE BLADES
WARNING: Before you remove the blade, disconnect
the wire to the spark plug. The blade has sharp
edges. When you hold the blade, use gloves or cloth
material to protect your hands.
1. Use a piece of wood to keep the blades from rotating.
2. Remove the nuts that hold the blades (Figure 2).
3. Remove the standard blades.
4. Two mulcher blades are in the mulcher kit. Mount the mulcher
blades and the blade adapters on the mandrels (Figure 2).
5. Mount each blade so that the hi–lift edges are up (toward the
mower housing). If the blade is upside down, the blade will not
cut correctly and can cause an accident.

6. Fasten the blades with the original washers and nuts. Make
sure the outside rim of the Belleville washers are against the
blades (Figure 3).
NOTE: Check the rotation of the blades. Make sure the
blades do not hit the mower housing. If a blade hits, the
mower housing is bent. Hit the mower housing with a
hammer until the blade does not touch.
WARNING: Always keep the nut tight that holds the
blade. A loose nut or blade can cause an accident.
7. Tighten the nuts that hold the blades to a torque of 30 foot
pounds (41,5N–m).

MULCHING TIPS
When you use a mulcher attachment, the grass is cut into very small
pieces. These small pieces will quickly break down. Because the
nutrients are returned to the soil, the lawn will need less fertilizer. Too
correctly mulch the grass, follow the steps below.
1. Set the throttle in the FAST position. Operate the mower at a
slower ground speed. If ground speed is too fast, the grass will
not have an even cut.
2. Keep a sharp edge on the blade. A blade that is not sharp will
cause the ends of the grass to become brown.
3. Make sure the grass is dry. Wet grass is difficult to cut.
4. Set the height of the mower housing so that only the top third
of the grass is cut. If the grass is too high, set the height of the
mower housing to the maximum height. Then, lower the mower
housing for the second cut. Also, instead of using the full width
of the mower housing, mulch at half the width.
5. Clean the bottom of the mower housing. Grass and other debris
can keep the mower from working correctly.
6. If the grass grows fast, mulch more often.
7. If an area needs improvement, mulch a second time.
