Operation
Operation
Use the discharge gate to temporarily stop or deflect
grass clippings away from sidewalks, parking lots,
patios, or anywhere grass clippings are not desired to
be discharged. The handle allows the discharge gate
to be held in any position from fully closed to fully
open.
Important: Multiple accessories added to a base
unit can change the stability of the machine.
Read the unit operator's manual to determine
if counterbalance weights are necessary for the
accessories installed on the unit.
Important: Make sure the mower is in neutral
before operating the handle of the discharge gate.
Important: The gate, of the Operator Controlled
Discharge assembly, is designed to operate
in conjunction with the discharge deflector.
The mower meets the ANSI Standard Safety
Specifications when the discharge deflector is in
the down position (reference Figure 10). Always
mow with the discharge deflector installed and in
the down position.
DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening will allow
objects to be thrown in an operator's or
bystander's direction. Also, contact with the
blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade
contact can cause serious injury or death.
Never operate the mower with the discharge
deflector raised, removed, or altered unless there
is a grass collection system or mulch kit in place
and working properly.
DANGER
The rotating blades under the mower deck are
dangerous. Blade contact can cause serious
injury or kill you.
Do Not put hands or feet under the mower or
mower deck when the blades are engaged.
