Accessories
Your lawn mower may include accessories available from
your Authorized Service Dealer. For proper installation of
these accessories, follow these instructions.
Installing the Rear Grass
Catcher
An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects in the operator’s or
bystander’s direction and result in serious injury.
Also, contact with the blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower unless you install a
cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.
