Cleaning Mower Washing Method Plug After every use, follow this procedure for washing debris out from the underside of the mower housing. To ensure best performance, the discharge tunnel plug must be cleaned after each use. When grass is thick and lush, clippings may collect on and around the plug; this may make plug removal difficult.
