A grasscatcher pin (G in Figure

you may have to change the position of the strap
depending on the location of the grasscatcher pin on
the deck. Remove the retainer strap from position B on
the discharge chute to position A or C corresponding to
the position of the grasscatcher pin at A, B or C on the
