1. Position for pushing the
machine
To Operate the Machine
Pull each bypass lever up and pull them completely
out. Push the levers down (Figure 17).
Note: The machine will not drive unless the
bypass levers are pulled out.
Converting to Side
Discharge
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward
the turf.
2. Position for operating the
machine
Without the grass deflector, discharge
cover, or 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.
• Never remove the grass deflector from
the mower because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf.
If the grass deflector is ever 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 remove the key
and pull the wire off the spark plug(s).
Removing the Recycler® Bafe On 44
inch Mowers
Open holes in the mower expose you and
others to thrown debris which can cause
severe injury.
• Never operate the mower without
hardware mounted in all holes in the
mower housing.
• Install the hardware in the mounting
holes when you remove the recycling
baffle.
Note: Only the right side baffle needs to be
removed for side discharge mowing.
1. Thoroughly clean the mower.
2. Remove the knobs and curved washers from
the right side baffle (Figure 18).
