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.
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.
