Replacing the Discharge
Deector
DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening could allow
the lawn mower to throw objects in the
operator’s or bystander’s direction and result
in serious injury. Also, contact with the blade
could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower unless you
install a mulch plate, discharge deector, or
grass collection system.
1. Locate items shown in Figure 46.

2. Slide the rod out of the short stand-off, spring,
and discharge deector. Remove the damaged or
worn discharge deector.
3. Install new discharge deector.
4. Orient the spring so that the short leg points
towards the discharge deector and the longer leg
points towards the deck as shown in Figure 46.
Place spring on rod and slide rod, straight end,
through the front discharge deector bracket,
discharge deector, and rear deector bracket.
5. Make sure that the spring and rod are installed
so that the rod is retained from sliding out
by the front bracket and the spring holds the
discharge deector in the down position. Refer to
(Figure 46) for proper orientation.
Important: The discharge deector must be
spring loaded in the down position. Lift the
deector up to test that it snaps to the full
down position.
