WARNING
Without the grass deflector 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 guard from the
mower because the grass guard routes
material down toward the turf. If the
grass guard is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the
mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or
mower blades unless you engage the
parking brake, disengage the power take
off (PTO) lever, shutoff the engine, remove
the ignition key, and wait for all motion
to stop. Also pull the wire off the spark
plug(s).
Ensure that the mower has the rear grass guard to
disperse clippings rearward and down toward the turf
while in rear discharge mode.
To mulch grass clippings, install the baffles on the
mower deck as instructed in the following procedures.
