Replacing the Discharge

Deflector

Service Interval: As required

DANGER

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 mulch plate, discharge deflector, or grass

collection system.

To remove a damaged or worn discharge deflector,

lift the leg of the spring with the loop out of the

notch in the discharge deflector and slide the

rod out of the discharge deflector brackets, and

discharge deflector.

To install new discharge deflector, orient the

spring on the rod as shown in Figure 9. Slide the

rod through the front discharge deflector bracket,

discharge deflector, and rear deflector bracket.

Hook the bent end of the rod around the front

discharge deflector bracket to retain it from

sliding out. Place the leg of the spring with the

loop in the notch in the discharge deflector to

hold the discharge deflector in the down position

(see Figure 9).

Important: The discharge deflector must be

spring loaded in the down position. Lift the

deflector up to test that it snaps to the full

down position.
