Install the fasteners into the same holes in the deck they were
originally removed from. This ensure no holes are left open

thrown debris. Debris thrown out of holes in the
mower can cause injury.
• Never operate the mower without hardware
mounted in all holes in the mower.
• Install hardware in mounting holes when the
baffle is removed.
