Using the Grass Deflector
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward the
turf.
DANGER
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover,
or 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
g017303
the mower 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.
• Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the blade-control
switch to O
