Replacing the Grass Deflector

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.
1. Remove the locknut, bolt, spring and spacer holding
the deflector to the pivot brackets (Figure 97).
Remove the damaged or worn grass deflector.
2. Place the spacer and spring onto grass deflector.
Place the L end of spring behind deck edge.
