Deflector

Warning

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 cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and catcher.

1. Install the new bolt through the grass deflector and

through the small spacer (3/4 inch) (Fig. 2).

mower deck and install the large spacer (4–7/8 inch) (Fig. 2).

spacer (1–3/8 inch) (Fig. 2).
