Installing The Cover Plate; Installing The Fuse - Lawn-Boy GoldPro Series Operator's Manual

Installing the Cover Plate

Your lawn mower comes with a cover plate. For side
discharge operation, install the cover plate into the deck
opening.
Warning
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, or a grass chute and
catcher.
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Fig. 4)
before installing or removing the cover plate.

not charge or the engine does not turn with the electric
starter, the fuse may be blown. Use a 40-amp plug-in type
fuse.
