Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward the
turf.
DANGER
Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
a 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 deck 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 deck.
• Never try to clear the discharge area
or mower blades unless you move the
blade-control switch (PTO) to the O
position, rotate the key switch to the O
position, and remove the key from the key
switch.
• Make sure that the grass deflector is in the
down position.
