3.6 MOUNTING THE SIDE DEFLECTOR
a. Insert the plastic pin (1) and washer (2) into the right end of the
pin (3);
b. Insert the pin shaft into the side deflector (4), bracket (6) and
torsion spring (5) in sequence, and insert the washer (2) and
elastic latch (1) at the other end.

3.7 MOUNTING THE MULCHING KIT (optional)
Mulching grass reduces grass cuttings by cutting the grass
clippings more than once. Grass should be dry and only a third of
the length should be cut for best results. If the grass is very long,
set the height of cut higher and then re-mow at a lower cut.
A mulching kit is required to convert side discharging tractors to
mulching. The instructions below describe the fitting of the kit:
a. Press the self-locking button to open the side deflector;
b. Pass the lug boss (M) on the mulching kit through the bottom
of the pin (N), insert the lower left corner of the mulching kit into
the space under the self-locking parts base (Figure B), and insert
the right dowel pin into the hole of deck (Figure C);
c. Hang the left hook into the groove on the base of the self-
locking parts (Figure A), and the right hook into the hole of the
deck (Figure D).
