Replacing the Discharge Deflector

An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects to be thrown in operator’s or bystander’s direction. Also, contact with blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you or bystanders.

Never operate mower unless discharge deflector, or entire grass collection system, or mulch kit is installed.

2.Place the discharge deflector on the deck.

3.Orient the spring so that the short leg points towards the discharge deflector and the longer leg points towards the deck as shown in Figure 14. Place spring on rod and slide rod, straight end, through the front discharge deflector bracket, discharge deflector, and rear deflector bracket.

4.Make sure that the spring and rod are installed so that the rod is retained from sliding out by the front bracket and the spring holds the discharge deflector in the down position. Refer to (Figure 14) for proper orientation.

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

Operating Tips

Larger Machine with Bagger

Remember that the mower is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places you may damage the attachment.

Trimming

Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do not trim with the right side of the mower because you could damage the bagger’s chute and discharge tube.

Cutting Height

Do not set the mower cutting height too low because long grass surrounding the mower can prevent air from getting under the mower and entering the bagging system. If enough air doesn’t get under the mower, the bagging system will plug.

Cutting Frequency

Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly. You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets excessively long.

Cutting Technique

For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap the mower into the previously cut area. This helps reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance of plugging the chute and discharge tube.

Using Bag Liners

Although not required, bag liners may be inserted into each grass bag to collect clippings and make disposal more convenient (Figure 15). If you use a bag liner, remove the filled grass bag and close the top of the liner. Then pull the liner out the grass bag or turn the bag upside down while
