5.
Install 5/16 x 5/8 hex head capscrew and
whizlock nut in the hole on top of the deck with

prevent sand or other small objects from being
thrown up through the deck.

DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening
will allow objects to be thrown in an
operator's or bystander's direction. Also,
contact with the blade could occur.
Thrown objects or blade contact can
cause serious injury or death.
Never operate the mower with the side
discharge door raised, removed, or
altered unless there is a discharge
deflector and mulch plug in place and
working properly.
