Lower Deck Discharge Chute Deflector

WARNING! Never operate the mower deck without the chute deflector installed and in the down position.

The discharge chute deflector must be installed before operating the mower.

1.Remove the keys that are attached with a zip tie to the chute bracket.

2.Remove the flange lock nuts from the deck. Do not remove the push nuts or carriage bolts, leaving them in place will aid in installing the chute. See Figure 3-5.

To adjust the position of the seat, rotate the seat forward and locate the clamp knob on the front left of the seat pan. Refer to Figure 3-2.

Rotate the clamp knob to the left and remove it, slide the seat forward or backward and re-insert the clamp knob into one of the four available positions on the seat pan and into the seat, then tighten securely. Make sure the seat is locked into position before operating the tractor. See Figure 3-7.
