Operating Instructions
•
When using a side discharge mower deck, the
side discharge deflector shield must not be
removed and must be kept in the lowest possible
position to deflect grass clippings and thrown objects
down ward. Orient the side discharge away from
side walks or streets to minimize cleanup of clippings.
When mowing close to obstacles, orient the side dis-
charge away from obstacles to reduce the chance of
damage to property by thrown objects.
