Procedure

WARNING

An uncovered discharge opening allows the
lawn mower to throw objects toward you or
bystanders, resulting in serious injury. Also,
contact with the blade could occur.

Never operate the lawn mower without a
cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute
and catcher.

Make sure that the grass deflector is
installed when you remove the grass chute
and catcher.

Important:

Install the side-discharge chute when

you remove the bagger and blower.

Important:

Save all the hardware and the

side-discharge chute.
