An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects in the operator's or
bystander's direction and result in serious injury.
Also, contact with the blade could occur.
• Never operate the lawn mower unless you install
a cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.
• Make sure the grass deflector is in the down
position.
