Attaching Discharge

Chute

On Older Model Riders

1.On some older models, a clip is already installed on the cutting deck next to the discharge chute opening in position A, B, or C, as seen in Figure 21. If this

is the case, the clip must be removed and a grass catcher pin installed.

2.Pin Installation: A grass catcher pin (G in Figure 4) and nut (H in Figure 4) have been supplied in

the hardware pack. First remove the clip, as seen in Figure 22A, by removing the nut and bolt. Then attach the grass catcher pin as seen in Figure 22B. Make sure to secure the pin tightly.

3.Some units may not have clip, but will have an open hole for pin installation. In this case, install the grass catcher pin from the hardware pack in the available hole.

4.You will then need to position the retainer strap on the discharge chute to correspond with the hole and pin. See Figure 23 for retainer strap positioning.

NOTE: The retainer strap is fitted at position A on the discharge chute. However, on older models of tractors, you will have to change the position of the strap depending on the location of the grass catcher pin on the deck. Remove the retainer strap from position A on the discharge chute to position B or C corresponding to the position of the grass catcher pin at A, B or C on the deck. See Figure 23.
