Checking the Side Discharge
Chute
No Parts Required
Procedure
If there are plastic ties holding the side discharge chute
up, remove them and lower the chute into place.
WARNING
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 or
death. Also, contact with the blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower with the grass
deflector removed unless you install a cover plate, a
mulch plate, or a grass chute and catcher.
