Installing the Blower Assembly
Parts needed for this procedure:
1
Blower assembly (from the Blower and Drive Kit)
1
Spring (from the Blower and Drive Kit)
Procedure
WARNING
An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects at you or bystanders,
resulting 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.
• Make sure that the grass deflector is installed
when you remove the grass chute and catcher.
1. Remove the side-discharge chute from the mower deck
(Figure
15).
Note: Save all the hardware and the side-discharge
chute. Install the side-discharge chute when the bagger
and blower are removed.
