Chute Deflector (See Figure 9)

•The chute deflector on your mower may be held in an upright position by a block for shipping purposes only. This shipping block must be removed and dis- carded before the mower is put into operation. See Figure 9.

To remove the shipping block, pull the spring-loaded chute toward the engine. Remove the block and carefully lower the chute into operating position, keeping fingers out of the way.

Installing The Mulching Baffle (optional)

A. Lift the chute deflector on the mower. Slide the notches in the bottom of the mulching baffle over the lip of the discharge opening. See Figure 10.

B. Push the hooks on the top of the baffle until they snap over the hinge on the discharge chute. Re- lease the chute deflector.

NOTE: When you wish to mow instead of mulch, simply raise the chute deflector, grasp the handle on the mulching baffle and lift upward to remove the baffle. It is not necessary to remove the mulching blade.
