Replacing the Grass Deflector

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Inspect the grass deflector for damage

An uncovered discharge opening could allow the lawn cutter deck 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 machine without grass deflector, discharge cover or grass collection system in place.

Inspect the grass deflector for damage before each use. Replace any damaged parts before use.

1. Locate items shown in Figure 57.

6.Place the spring on the rod, with end wires down, and between the grass deflector brackets. Slide rod through second grass deflector bracket (Figure 57).

7.Insert rod at front of grass deflector into short stand-off on deck. Secure rear end of rod into the cutter deck with a nut (3/8 inch) (Figure 57).

Important: The grass deflector must be spring loaded in the down position. Lift the deflector up to test that it snaps to the full down position.
