Replacing the Grass Deflector

1. Remove the locknut, bolt, spring and spacer
holding deflector to the mounts (Fig. 49).
2. Straighten deflector mounts if they are bent
(Fig. 49).
3. Install new deflector between mounts with
spacer and spring. Hook the front end of the
spring around the front deflector mount. Insert
bolt through spacer and secure with locknut.
Confirm there is downward spring force on
deflector (Fig. 49).
4. Tighten the bolt and locknut until they lightly
contact the pivot brackets (Fig. 49).
IMPORTANT: The grass deflector must be
spring-loaded in the down position. Lift the
deflector up to test that it snaps to the full
down position.
