Replacing the Grass Deflector

WARNING
An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects in the operator's or
bystander's direction and result in serious injury.
Also, contact with the blade could occur.
Do not operate the lawn mower unless you install a
cover plate, a mulch plate, grass deflector or bagger.
1. Remove the locknut, the bolt, the spring, and the spacer
holding the deflector to the pivot brackets (Figure 100).
2. Remove the damaged or worn grass deflector (Figure
