bystander's direction and result in serious injury.
Also, contact with the blade could occur.
• Never operate the machine unless you install a
cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.

position.

behind the deck edge before installing the bolt as
shown in Figure 37

5. Place the J-hook end of the spring around the grass
deflector (Figure 37).
