These instructions will guide you through installing a mulch kit on your Cub Cadet riding mower. While the steps are generally similar, always refer to your model’s operator's manual for specific directions and safety information.
Make sure the mower is turned off, the key is removed, and the spark plug wire is disconnected. Wear gloves and safety glasses before beginning installation.
Carefully lower the deck and disconnect it from the mower frame following your manual’s instructions. Place the deck on a flat, clean surface for easy access.
Swap out your standard blades with the mulching blades included in the kit. These blades are designed to circulate clippings for finer cuts. Torque bolts to manufacturer specs.
The mulch plug blocks the discharge chute so clippings stay under the deck and are re-cut. Align it with the opening and secure it with the provided fasteners or clips.
Once the kit is installed, reattach the deck to the mower and ensure all linkages and belts are connected properly. Reconnect the spark plug wire and test the function.
The steps above provide a general guideline. For exact installation instructions and part numbers, refer to the Operator’s Manual for your mower model.
