Replacing The Discharge Deflector - Toro 79155 Operator's Manual

If you remove the spring-loaded hood
when it is closed (in the down
position), the hood may suddenly fly
open and you or someone else may be
bruised, pinched, or injured in another
way.
Always open (raise) the hood before
you remove or install it on the quick-
attach bracket.
4. Open the hood and remove the two bags
from the bag frame hooks (Figure 12).
5. Lift the bagger mount assembly and hood
off the bagger hitch.
Note: The bagger hitch does not have to be
removed from the unit.
Operating the mower with the front
weight installed and the bagger
removed may cause loss of traction
and steering control or an unstable
condition which could result in injury
or death.
Install the front weight only when the
bagger is installed.
Note: The removable weight is heavy.
Use care when lifting it. Make sure that
you can hold it securely before lifting it.
Use caution when positioning your hands
so that you do not set it down on your
hands or fingers.
6. Remove the weight on the front of the
mower.
Note: The weight support assembly can stay
mounted to the unit when the bagger and
weight are removed.
7. Store all hardware in a convenient
location.
Note: On the 52" deck, the discharge baffle
does not have to be removed from the deck;
you may notice better discharge with it
installed. If removed, replace the original
hardware in the deck holes.
Replacing the Discharge
Deflector
An uncovered discharge opening will
allow objects to be thrown in
operator's or bystander's direction.
Also, contact with blade could occur.
Thrown objects or blade contact can
cause serious injury or kill you or
bystanders.
Never operate mower unless discharge
deflector, or entire grass collection
system, or mulch kit is installed.
1. Disengage the spring from the notch in the
deflector bracket and slide the rod out of the
welded deck brackets, spring, and discharge
deflector (Figure 13).
