Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
• 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 the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off (blade

the ignition key to off and remove the key.
• Make sure the grass deflector is in the down
position.
