POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Without the discharge chute 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 AV
OID THE HAZARD
• NEVER r emove the discharge chute from
the mower because the discharge chute
routes material down toward the turf. If
the discharge chute 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 (PTO) to “OFF” and turn the
ignition key to “STOP.” Also remove the
ignition key and pull the wire(s) off the
spark plug(s).

installation much more difficult.
