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.
CAUTION To avoid personal injury, be sure that the
deflector is properly installed on the
discharge chute.
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, should you place 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.
