Converting the 48 inch Mower
to Side Discharge
The mower deck and mower blades shipped with this machine
were designed for optimum mulching and side discharge
performance.
Install the fasteners into the same holes in the deck they were
originally removed from. This ensure no holes are left open
when the deck is operated.
DANGER
Open holes in the mower expose you and others to
thrown debris. Debris thrown out of holes in the
mower can cause injury.
• Never operate the mower without hardware
mounted in all holes in the mower.
• Install hardware in mounting holes when the
baffle is removed.
