removed. This ensures that no holes remain open when operating the mower deck.

Open holes in the machine expose you and others to thrown debris that can cause
severe injury.
• Never operate the machine without hardware mounted in all holes in the machine
housing.
• Install the hardware in the mounting holes when you remove the mulching baffle.

the operating position.
