Converting to Side
Discharge

The mower deck and mower blades shipped with the
machine were designed for optimum mulching and
side-discharge performance.

Install the fasteners into the same holes in the deck
from where they were originally removed. This
ensures that no holes are left open when operating
the mower deck.

WARNING

Open holes in the machine expose you and
others to thrown debris that can cause severe
injury.

•

Never operate the machine without
hardware mounted in all holes in the
machine housing.

•

Install the hardware in the mounting holes
when you remove the mulching baffle.
