Replacing the Grass Deflector
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Inspect the grass
deflector for damage.
WARNING
An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects at you or bystanders,
resulting in serious injury. Also, contact with the
blade could occur.
Never operate the machine without the grass
deflector, the discharge cover, or the grass-collection
system in place.
Inspect the grass deflector for damage before each use.
Replace any damaged parts before use.
