Stopping the Engine

unattended or not used.
Using the Discharge Tunnel
Plug
1. Make sure engine is off. Open the discharge door by
pulling forward on the handle and moving it rearwards
(Fig. 11). Hold the discharge door handle to prevent
the spring-loaded door from closing while inserting the
plug.

2. Since the plug is slightly wider than the discharge
tunnel opening, you must rotate the plug clockwise
slightly while inserting it (Fig. 11). Make sure the
arrow on the plug decal is pointing upwards.
3. Push the plug all the way in until the spring clip on the
bottom of the plug clicks into place, locking the plug
securely into the discharge tunnel (Fig. 12). Release
the discharge door handle to lock the top of the plug.
4. To remove the plug, move the discharge door handle
rearwards while at the same time lift up the spring clip
on the bottom of the plug. When the plug is unlocked,
pull it out of the discharge tunnel.
Note: When grass is thick and lush, clippings may collect
on and around the discharge tunnel plug. This may make
plug removal difficult. Clean plug thoroughly after each
use.
