Removing Chute Retainer 

The chute deflector on your mower is held in an upright 
position by a retainer for shipping purposes only. 
Remove the retainer by following steps below, before 
running the mower for the first time.

Push the chute deflector up and towards the 
engine. Holding the deflector in this position, 
remove the retainer. See Figure 5.

Lower the chute deflector carefully to its operating 
position keeping your fingers out of the way.

Figure 5 

WARNING: The chute retainer must be
removed and discarded before operating
the mower. 

Installing Mulching Baffle 

If your mower is equipped with the optional mulching 
baffle, install it on the right side of the deck following 
these instructions. Make sure to follow the correct 
sequence as indicated here.

Lift up and hold the side-discharge chute deflector. 

Insert bottom lip of the mulching baffle 

inside

 the 

chute opening. See Figure 6 .

Snap hooks of the mulching baffle over the hinge 
pin of the chute deflector. See Figure 6. The hooks 
must snap into place on the hinge pin, locking the 
mulching baffle firmly onto the mower. For a close-
up of the hinge pin location, see  inset. 

Release the chute deflector.

 

NOTE: 

Install bottom lip inside chute opening

(indicated by 1 in the figure below) before placing hooks
over the hinge pin (indicated by 2 in the figure below).
