Important
Grass deflector must be spring loaded in
the down position. Lift chute up to test that it snaps to the
full down position.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
NEVER remove the grass deflector from the
mower 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 mower.
•
Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to “OFF” and rotate the ignition key to
“OFF.” Also remove the key and pull the wire
off the spark plug(s).
