raising the rear deflector, and inserting it into the
rear-discharge chute until the latch locks into place
(Figure 3).

7. Remove the mulch baffle assembly and its hardware.
8. Install standard blades if low-lift blades were used.
9. Install the flow control baffle and its hardware.
10. Install the side discharge chute and its hardware.
DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening will allow
objects to be thrown in the direction of the
operator or bystanders. Also, contact with the
blades could occur. Thrown objects or blade
contact can cause serious injury or death.
Never operate the machine without the
side-discharge deflector or side-discharge
chute in place and working properly.
11. Install the bagger or rear-discharge plug from the
machine.
WARNING
Ensure that either the rear-discharge plug or
the grass bag has been installed before you
turn on the machine. Never engage the blades
without either the rear-discharge plug or the
grass bag installed.
