Operation
Side Discharge
or Mulch Grass
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Without the grass deflector or complete
grass catcher assembly mounted in place,
you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
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 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
wire(s) off the spark plug(s).
