Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.

complete grass-catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower

toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.
