TO CONVERT MOWER TO SIDE DISCHARGE
To convert your mower to a side discharge unit, remove
only the grass bag and top discharge chute. It is not
necessary to remove the catcher panel and brackets.
To remove the top discharge chute, proceed as follows.
-See figures 16 and 17.
1. Remove the two wing nuts and flat washers which
secure the top discarge chute to the side of the
deck.
2. Lift up on the front edge of the discharge chute,
then slide it toward the side, removing it from the
bolts in the side of the deck.
3. Attach the side chute deflector by first placing it
over the rear bolt in the side of the deck, then over
the front bolt and sliding it into position. Secure
with the hardware removed in step one.
