Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I have a HRX217HXA mower that i purchased in 2004.  Its has been a great mower and i love it.    I was wondering if the clip director is adjustable on these machines.  When i close it to mulch there is a small crack that is left open and passes enough grass that if i keep the bag on it will nearly fill it while i mow my half acre lawn.  Is there an way for me to adjust this closed?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Jay
