Side Discharging the
Clippings
Operating Tips
•
•
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches,
and other debris that the blade could hit.
Use the side discharge for cutting very tall grass.
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
Important: Ensure that
the rear discharge plug
is in place before you
side discharge the
clippings.
If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire
from the spark plug, and examine the mower for
damage.
•
•
For best performance, install a new blade before
the cutting season begins.

Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a
time. Do not cut below the 2-inch (51 mm) setting
unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when
grass growth begins to slow down. Refer to
Adjusting the Cutting Height on page 6.

When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall,
mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk
slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the

mower may plug and cause the engine to stall.

leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause
the mower to plug or the engine to stall.

Install the side discharge chute and close the
door onto the chute.
Warning
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if
you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry
conditions.

Alternate the mowing direction. This helps
disperse the clippings over the lawn for even
fertilization.

Removing the Side Discharge Chute
•
•
•
•
•
Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
Raise the cutting height on your mower.
Cut the grass more frequently.
To remove the side discharge chute, reverse the
steps above.
Important: Lock
the side discharge
door after you
close it.
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
•
Set the cutting height on the front wheels one
notch lower than the rear wheels. For example,
set the front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the
rear wheels at 2-3/8 inches (60 mm).
