Your riding mower is shipped to you with the
grasscatcher fully assembled on the unit. A side
discharge chute and a mulching plug are included as
loose parts. Follow the instructions below to attach
the side-discharge chute.

any one of the grasscatcher, discharge
chute or mulching plug is not firmly installed
on the mower.
Pivot the seat frame up and lower the cutting
height adjustment lever to the lowest position.
Remove the two wing nuts (A and B in Figure

All four wing nuts (A, B, C, and D) hold the
chute to the deck frame.
