Important
Discharge chute must be spring loaded in
the down position. Lift the chute up to test that it snaps
to the full down position.
Danger
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place,
you and others are exposed to blade contact and
thrown debris. Contact with the rotating mower
blades and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower because the grass deflector routes
material down toward the turf. If the grass
deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to Off and rotate the ignition key to Off.
Also remove the key and pull the wires off of the
spark plugs.
Mower Belt Routing
Route the mower belt as shown in Fig. 3. Ensure that you
install the belt on the lower mower deck pulley.
