Installing the Grass Deflector
at the factory. You will need to install the grass
deflector before using this machine in side discharge

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
grass deflector, a mulch plate, or an entire grass
catcher assembly.
