THINGS TO KNOW BE FORE YOU ASSEMBLE OR OPERATE
YOUR LAWN MOW ER
Do I have a side or rear discharge lawn
mower?

Look for the grass discharge opening on

your mower. If the opening is on the right
side of the mower housing, it is a side
discharge mower. If the opening is at the
back of the mower housing, it is a rear dis-
charge mower. Only rear discharge lawn
mowers have a grass catcher in clud ed
with the mower. Approved grass catch-
ers for side discharge mow ers may be
purchased from your nearest au tho rized
dealer.
Do I have a mulching lawn mower?
Look for the grass discharge opening on
your mower. Raise the discharge deflector
(rear door on rear discharge mowers). If
the opening is closed off by a plate, then
your lawn mower is mulcher ready. To
convert to a discharging mower, see the
Operation section of this manual.
