SIDE DISCHARGE OF THE CLIPPINGS
In order to achieve optimum performance when side
discharging the grass clippings, please read and follow the
tips listed below. Additional information can be found in the
Troubleshooting guide on Page 48-49.
1. Set engine speed control to the wide open or full setting.
2. Do not attempt to cut grass when it is wet. Wet grass will
clog the underside of the deck and discharge area.
3. If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height lever
in the top or second notch. “Initially” overlap cutting
swaths instead of a full swath with each pass. Some
applications may require a second cutting.
4. Keep the underside of the mower deck clean. Frequent
removal of dried grass and dirt will allow the clippings to
discharge correctly. Never, under any circumstances,
place your hands or feet under the mower deck or in
the chute while blades or impeller are still turning.
5. Maintain sharp blade(s) throughout the cutting season.
CAUTION
!
To avoid personal injury, be sure that the
deflector is properly installed on the
discharge chute.
