Raise the chute deflector on the deck and hold it 
while you position the discharge chute over the 
chute opening.

Place the top rear edge of the discharge chute over 
the top rear edge of the chute opening. 

Push down on the discharge chute so that its front 
bottom edge rolls over the bottom of the deck, then 
slide the chute forward to the stop on the deck. See 
Figure 9.

NOTE: 

The retainer strap is fitted at position B on the

discharge chute. However, on older models of tractors,
you will have to change the position of the strap
depending on the location of the grasscatcher pin on
the deck. Remove the retainer strap from position B on
the discharge chute to position A or C corresponding to
the position of the grasscatcher pin at A, B or C on the
deck. See Figure 9.

Figure 9

Lower the deck to its lowest position.

Lock the discharge chute in position by hooking the 
retainer strap over the grasscatcher pin on the 
deck. See Figure 9 for the pin position. 

Raise the deck back to its highest position.

Insert the curved end of chute tube into the hole in 
the grass bag cover following Figure 10.

Figure 10

Place the lower end of the chute tube over the 
discharge chute so that the two notches on the 
chute tube fit into the two corresponding notches on 
the discharge chute. See Figure 11.

Figure 11

Secure by clipping the two retainer straps of the 
discharge chute to the pins on the chute tube. See 
Figure 11.
