Side Discharge
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
Danger
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. 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 discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the PTO to Off and
rotate the ignition key to Off. Also remove the
key and pull the wire off the spark plug(s).
Tips for Mowing Grass
Fast Throttle Setting
For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the
engine at the Fast position. Air is required to thoroughly cut
grass clippings, so do not set the height-of-cut so low as to
totally surround the mower by uncut grass. Always try to
have one side of the mower free from uncut grass, which
allows air to be drawn into the mower.
