Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower because the grass deflector routes
material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the blade control switch
(PTO) to the off position, rotate the ignition
key to off and remove the key.
• Make sure the grass deflector is in the down
position.
