GRASS DEFLECTOR
WARNING
The grass deflector (Fig. 6) is a safety device
that diverts grass and other foreign objects
discharged downward. Without deflector
mounted in place on the cutting unit and
spring loaded hinges holding deflector in the
down position, the blades could hurl grass
and foreign objects out the discharge
opening with enough force to cause injury or
property damage. If the grass deflector or
spring hinges are worn, broken or damaged,
repair or replace the affected part(s). Do not
operate cutting unit without deflector,
discharge cover or entire grass collector
mounted on the cutting unit. Always be sure
the deflector chute is in the lowest possible
position.
