Checking The Side Discharge Chute - Toro Z Master G3 Setup Instruction

Checking the Side Discharge
Chute
No Parts Required
Procedure
If there are plastic ties holding the side discharge chute
up, remove them and lower the chute into place.
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 or death. Also, contact with the
blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower with the grass
deflector removed unless you install a cover
plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.
1. Make sure one J end of the spring is installed behind
the deck edge before installing the bolt as shown in
Figure 22.
2. Place one J hook end of the spring around the grass
deflector (Figure 22).
Important: The grass deflector must be free to
rotate with downward tension. Lift the deflector
up to the full open position and ensure that it
rotates freely, without binding into the full down
position.
