discharge deflector or complete grass
catcher assembly mounted in place, you

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
NEVER operate the mower without the
discharge chute cover, discharge deflector

cover and grass deflector route material

damaged, replace them 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
