Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
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 power
take off (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.

Transporting Machines

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by

pets or bystanders avoid injury.
Driving on the street or roadway without turn
signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow

lead to accidents causing personal injury.

2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
3. Load the machine onto the trailer or truck.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, set the brake, and
close the fuel valve.
