Operation
Operation
Important: Always mow with the discharge deflector installed and in the down position.
DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects to be thrown in an operator’s or bystanders’s direction. Also contact with the blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious injury or death.
Never operate the mower with the discharge deflector raised, removed, or altered unless there is a grass collection system or mulch kit in place and working properly.
DANGER
The rotating blades under the mower deck are dangerous. Blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you.
Do Not put hands or feet under the mower or mower deck when the blades are engaged.
