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, or a grass chute
and catcher.
1. Locate items shown in Figure 47.
2. Remove the nut (3/8 inch) from the rod under the
mower (Figure 47).
3. Slide the rod out of the short stand-off, spring, and
grass deflector (Figure 47). Remove the damaged
or worn grass deflector.
4. Replace the grass deflector (Figure 47).
5. Slide rod, straight end, through the rear grass
deflector bracket.
6. Place the spring on the rod, with end wires down,
and between the grass deflector brackets. Slide rod
through second grass deflector bracket (Figure 47).
7. Insert rod at front of grass deflector into short
stand-off on deck. Secure rear end of rod into the
mower with a nut (3/8 inch) (Figure 47).
Important:
The grass deflector must be spring
loaded in the down position. Lift the deflector
up to test that it snaps to the full down position.
