Installing the Side Discharge
Chute with Gate
Parts needed for this procedure:
1
Side discharge chute
1
Bolt, (5/16 x 7–1/2 inches)
1
Locknut, (5/16 inch)
1
Plastic spacer
1
Spring
Procedure
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.
•
Make sure the grass deflector is in the down
position.
Note:
Ensure the grass deflector is installed in the
lower holes in the mower deck brackets.
1. Place the new spacer and spring onto grass deflector.
Place one end of spring behind deck edge.
Note:
Make sure the end of the spring is installed
behind the deck edge before installing the bolt as
shown in Figure 2.
2. Install bolt and nut in the lower hole. Place the end
of the spring around the grass deflector (Figure 2).
3. Tighten the nut until the end of the bolt is flush with
the end of the nut. Do not over tighten.
Important:
The grass deflector must be able to
lower down into position. Lift the deflector up
to test that it lowers into the full down position.
