Operation
Important: Always mow with the discharge
deflector installed and in the down position.

objects to be thrown in an operator’s or
bystanders’s direction. Also contact with the
blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade
contact can cause serious injury or death.
Never operate the mower with the discharge
deflector raised, removed, or altered unless
there is a grass collection system or mulch
kit in place and working properly.

are dangerous. Blade contact can cause
serious injury or kill you.
Do Not put hands or feet under the mower
