Replacing the Grass Deflector
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, grass deflector or
bagger.
1. Remove the locknut, bolt, spring and spacer holding
the deflector to the pivot brackets (Figure 71).
Remove damaged or worn grass deflector.

Note:
Make sure the
L
end of spring is installed
behind deck edge before installing the bolt as shown
in Figure 71.
3. Install bolt and nut. Place the
J
hook end of spring
around grass deflector (Figure 71).
Important:
The grass deflector must be able
to rotate. Lift the deflector up to the full open
position and ensure that it rotates into the full
down position.
