Installing The Deck Chute

NEVER operate this tractor without either the mulch plug or deck chute
installed.
1. Remove the wing knobs installed on the mowing deck and retain for later
installation.
2. Install the deck chute into the deck discharge opening on the deck. The studs
on the deck surface will fit through the holes on the upper portion of the
deck chute. The small tab on the deck lip area will fit through the square
cutout on the lower portion of the deck chute. See inset of Figure 10.
Note: Make certain that the upper-rear portion of deck chute is depressing
the safety switch located on the deck surface. The engine will not start
without the deck chute properly in place.
3. Secure the deck chute by tightening the wing knobs removed earlier. See
Figure 10.
