Important: Ensure the mower has a hinged grass
deflector that disperses clippings to the side and
down toward the turf, while in side discharge
mode.
Installing the Discharge Cover for
Mulching
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the
blade control switch.
2. Remove the cutoff baffle from the machine (Figure 26).
3. Move the motion control levers outward to park
position, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
4. Lift the grass deflector and slide the tabs on top of the
discharge cover under the grass deflector retaining rod.
Rotate the discharge cover down over the opening, and
onto the lower lip of the mower (Figure 27).

5. Secure the discharge cover to the lower lip of the
mower with two bolts (1/4 x 2-1/2 inches) and two cap
nuts (1/4 inch) as shown in Figure 27.
Note: Do not overtighten the nuts; this could distort
the cover and cause blade contact.
