Replacing the Grass
Deector
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. Also, contact with
the blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower unless you
install a cover plate, a mulch plate, grass
deflector or bagger.
1. Remove the locknut, bolt, spring and spacer
holding the deflector to the pivot brackets
(Figure 80). Remove damaged or worn grass
deflector.
