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. 7). 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,

plug removal difficult. Clean plug thoroughly after each
use. Refer to Cleaning Mower, page 17.
