DISCHARGE ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Discharge assemblies vary by model. Some
assembly steps shown may not apply to your model.
Your mower comes with a recycling cover already
installed, and is ready for use as a recycling mower.
The recycling cover is designed to remain on the
machine at all times, unless alternate discharge
operations are desired, such as side discharging or
bagging.
Recycling cover can be removed to
accommodate alternate discharge components.
TO CHANGE DISCHARGE COMPONENTS:
STEP 1: Remove knob nuts and internal/external tooth
lock washers securing recycling cover to mower deck.
Remove cover. See Figure 5.
