Grass Deflector

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.

complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.

damaged, replace it immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the blade control switch
to Off and rotate the ignition key to Off. Also
