Installing the Grass Deflector
Note: Make sure the grass deflector is installed when the
bagger and tubes are removed.
The grass deflector spring will have either an L end or a
straight end (Fig. 22).
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.
Never operate the lawn mower unless you install a
cover plate, a mulch plate, grass deflector or a
grass chute and catcher.
1. Place spacer and spring onto grass deflector. Place the
L or the straight end of spring behind deck edge.
Note: Make sure the L or the straight end of spring is
installed behind deck edge before installing the bolt as
shown in figure 22.
2. Install bolt and nut. Place J hook end of spring around
grass deflector (Fig. 22).
Important
The grass deflector must be lowered down
into position. Lift the deflector up to test that it lowers
into the full down position.
