DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects in the operator's or
bystander's direction and result in serious injury.
Also, contact with the blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower unless you install
a mulch plate, discharge deflector, or grass
collection system.
1. To remove a damaged or worn discharge deflector,
lift the leg of the spring with the loop out of the
notch in the discharge deflector and slide the
rod out of the discharge deflector brackets, and

3. Hook the bent end of the rod around the front
discharge deflector bracket to retain it from
sliding out. Place the leg of the spring with the
loop in the notch in the discharge deflector to
hold the discharge deflector in the down position
(see Figure 13).
Important: The discharge deflector must be
spring loaded in the down position. Lift the
deflector up to test that it snaps to the full
down position.
