1. Kicker
The blade and three kicker plates are permanent parts of
your mower. The blade should be removed only for
sharpening or replacement. The kickers should never be
removed, unless they need to be replaced. They do not
interfere with the normal bagging or optional side
discharge operations of the mower.

WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating mower without stiffener in place
could cause blade to flex, bend or break.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A broken blade could cause serious injury or
death to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not operate mower without stiffener.
The plug, however, is a removable part, just as the grass
bag and optional side discharge chute are removable parts.
You cannot use the plug in combination with either the
grass bag or the side discharge chute.
It is possible to mow without using the plug by closing the
discharge tunnel door. However, your lawn appearance
will be much more satisfactory if you use the plug as it
has an additional kicker (Fig. 11) that helps drive the
clippings down into the grass.
WARNING
Grass clippings and other debris can be thrown
from an open discharge tunnel with enough force
to cause personal injury. Never start or operate
the mower unless one of the following is true:
The discharge tunnel plug is locked securely in
discharge tunnel.
The grass bag is locked in place.
The optional side discharge chute is locked in
place.
The discharge tunnel door is locked closed.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Wet grass or leaves can cause you to slip and
contact blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Blade contact can seriously injure you.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Mow only in dry conditions.
