Installing the Recycler
A Recycler cover is included with the machine. You can
use it when you do not want to bag the grass clippings.
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
blade 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 disengage the power take-off
(PTO) and turn the ignition key to Off. Also
remove the key and disconnect the wire from the
spark plug.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the blade (PTO).
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
5. Remove the ignition key.
