3.Attach rubber deflector (4) and center deflector strap (2) to the rear of the cutter frame using self- tapping screws (6), flat washers (8), and lock washers (7).

Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or dam- age property.

•If this machine is not equipped with full chain or rubber shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m).

•This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec- tive devices cannot prevent all objects from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
