Side Discharge
or Mulch Grass
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Without the grass deflector, discharge
cover, or complete grass catcher assembly
mounted in place, you and others are
exposed to blade contact and thrown
debris.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
NEVER remove the grass deflector from
the mower because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
•
Never put your hands or feet under the
mower.
•
Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the blade control
(PTO) to “DISENGAGED” and rotate the
ignition key to “OFF.” Also remove the key
and pull the wire off the spark plug.
1. The mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward
the turf.
2. To mulch grass clippings you must install the
mulch kit consisting of mulch blade, kickers,
baffle ring and discharge cover (optional on
some models).
