REAR FLAP REPLACEMENT
The rear flap is attached to the back of the mower
deck, and is designed to minimize the possibility that
objects will be thrown from the rear of the mower
toward the operator. If the rear flap becomes dam­
aged, replace as follows.
To remove the old rear flap, cut off the flat end of the
wire rod which secures it to the deck using a pair of
side-cutters. Attach the new rear flap using the new
rod provided with the rear flap, bending the ends of
the rod over to secure.
3. Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease
to prevent rusting.
4. Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store
next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment, especially cables and all
moving parts.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn
mower for storage.
1. Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as
described in the lubrication instructions.
2. Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage
instructions.
OPTIONAL MULCHING KIT
_______ AVAILABLE_______
Mulching Kit model 190-082 is available as optional
equipment for the mowers shown in this manual. The
special high lift mulching blade and baffles will pulver­
ize the grass clipping, making it unnecessary to bag
the grass.
NOTE: The use of any accessory on this Rotary Mower other than those manufactured by the mower manufac­
turer is not recommended.
A WARNING: DO NOT operate the mower without the entire grass catcher or rear discharge door
in place. DO NOT operate the mower without the protective shield on the rear of the deck in
place.
NOTE: Under normal usage bag material is subject to wear and should be checked periodically. Be sure any
replacement bag complies with the mower manufacturer’s recommendations.
