Procedure
Use this procedure when installing the Finishing Kit on
machines with both 48 and 54 inch decks.
WARNING
An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects in the operator or
bystander’s direction and result in serious injury.
Also, contact with the blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower unless you install
a cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.
Never operate the mower with the discharge opening
uncovered. A discharge cover, mulch cover or bagging
chute must always be used when the mower deck is
operated.
1. Remove fasteners securing the deflector assembly
and existing cut off baffle to the deck (Figure 7).
Retain all fasteners. Remove the fasteners plugging
the forward hole.
