Installing the Grass Deflector

Procedure
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 or death. Also, contact with the
blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower with the grass
deflector removed unless you install a cover
plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.

the deck edge before installing the bolt as shown in
Figure 3.
3. Place the J hook end of spring around grass deflector
(Figure 3).
Important: The grass deflector must be free to
