Using the Side Discharge
This machine has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward the
turf.
DANGER
Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass-catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris. Contact with
rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris
will cause injury or death.
•
Never remove the grass deflector from
the machine, 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
machine.
•
Never try to clear the discharge area or
mower blades unless you move the power
takeoff (blade-control switch/PTO) to the
O
FF
position, shut off the engine, and
remove the key.
•
Make sure that the grass deflector is in the
down position.
Transporting the Machine
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required
by law. Please carefully read all the safety instructions.
Knowing this information could help you, your family,
pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
WARNING
Driving on the street or roadway without
turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a
slow-moving vehicle emblem is dangerous

injury.
Do not drive the machine on a public street
or roadway.
