DISCHARGE KIT

Since this instruction sheet covers only a minimal

amount of information necessary to maintain and

operate your mower, we suggest that you keep this

material with your Operator’s Manual so that both

may be referred to for instructions concerning safe

operation and proper maintenance procedures.

Your Recycler mower has been updated to

permit side discharging. Make sure that your

dealer is aware of this whenever parts are

ordered or servicing is required.

Safety and Instruction Decals

Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near

any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost.

Operation

Using Side Discharge Chute

1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to

stop.

2. Ensure discharge door handle is fully forward

(door closed) (Fig. 4).

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• Thrown objects may result if discharge

door does not close completely.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Thrown objects can cause serious personal

injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• If discharge door cannot be closed because

grass clippings clog discharge area, stop

engine and gently move discharge door

handle back and forth until door can be

closed completely. If door still cannot be

closed, remove obstruction with a stick, not

your hand.

3. INSTALLING CHUTE—Place opening in

discharge chute over discharge tunnel opening

and position as shown in Figure 4. Ensure chute

stop is in front of handle bracket.

4. To remove the plug, pull up on the door latch

and hold discharge door fully open. When the

plug is unlocked, pull the plug out of the

not interfere with the lower end of the

plug.

Maintenance

To ensure best performance, the discharge tunnel plug

must be cleaned after each use. When grass is thick

and lush, clippings may collect on and around the

plug; this may make plug removal difficult. After

each use, remove plug from discharge tunnel and

clean off all debris.

Always be sure that discharge tunnel door locks

closed when handle is released. If debris prevents

discharge door from locking closed, clean inside of

discharge tunnel and door thoroughly.

1. Stop engine and pull wire off spark plug.

Remove key from switch (key start models).

2. Remove fuel tank cap. Use a pump-type syphon

to drain fuel into a clean gas can.

Note: This is the only procedure

recommended for draining fuel.

3. Tip mower on side; refer to mower’s Operator’s

Manual for proper side to use. Avoid rotating

blade because starting problems may result.

4. Remove dirt and grass clippings that stick to

housing with a hardwood scraper. Avoid burrs

and sharp edges.

5. Turn mower upright.

6. Remove debris from inside of discharge tunnel.

7. Clean discharge tunnel plug and reinstall it.

8. Refill fuel tank.
