Procedure
WARNING
An uncovered discharge opening could allow
the mower to throw objects toward you or
bystanders, resulting 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 that the grass deflector is
installed when you remove the grass chute
and catcher.
1. Remove the side discharge chute from the
mower deck (
