CURVED SHAFT GRASS DEFLECTOR –

See Figure 5.
WARNING:
The line cutting blade on the grass deflector is sharp.
Avoid contact with the blade. Failure to avoid contact
can result in serious personal injury.

deflector.
Press the grass deflector onto the bottom of the curved
shaft as shown.
Insert the bolt through the grass deflector and the bracket
on the curved shaft.
Place the washer on the bolt.
Place the wing nut on the bolt and tighten securely.
STRAIGHT SHAFT GRASS DEFLECTOR –
MIGHTYLITE 26SS
See Figure 6.
Remove the wing nut and mounting bracket from the grass
deflector.
Assemble straight shaft grass deflector to drive shaft so
that the pin in the grass deflector fits in the locator hole
in the lower side of the drive shaft near the gear head.
Place the mounting bracket over the drive shaft so the
square tab on the mounting bracket fits into the slot in
the straight shaft grass deflector.
Rotate the mounting bracket so the screw on the grass
deflector goes into the slot on the mounting bracket.
Reinstall the wing nut and tighten securely.
