Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER

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 power take off

WARNING
Driving on the street or roadway without turn
signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow-moving
vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to
accidents causing personal injury.

roadway.
•
Be sure that the fuel valve is closed on the tank(s).
•
Place spare LPG tank(s) in a DOT approved storage cage.
– Transport the tanks in an upright, vertical, and secure
position to minimize movement, tipping, or physical
damage relative to other tanks or to the storage cage
while in transit.
– Place tanks so that valves, fittings, or gauges are
protected from physical damage during transport.
•
Place tank(s) in a well-ventilated trailer.
•
Do not store the tank(s) or machine with tank(s) in an
area where the temperature can rise above 120°F (49°C).
If the temperature exceeds approximately 160°F (71°C),
