2. Orient the spring so that the short leg points towards
the discharge deflector and the longer leg points
towards the deck as shown in (Figure 6). Place spring
on rod and slide rod, straight end, through the front
discharge deflector bracket, discharge deflector, and
rear deflector bracket.
3. Make sure that the spring and rod are installed so
that the rod is retained from sliding out by the front
bracket and the spring holds the discharge deflector
in the down position. Refer to (Figure 6) for proper
orientation.
4. Secure deflector assembly by installing a cotter pin
through the hole in the straight end of the rod. Bend
the straight ends of the pin back to secure the pin.
