Step By Step Instructions
1
Before you replace the grass deflector on your riding mower make sure the ignition switch is in the “off” position and the key has been removed.
2
Confirm that the mower deck is at its lowest position.
3
Now lift up the deflector and support the bottom of the mounting bolts as you use a half-inch socket to unthread the nuts.
4
Remove the bolts and pull the old deflector free.
5
Prepare the new grass deflector for installation by transferring the pin, spring and bracket assembly from the old deflector to the new one.
6
To do this, use vice-grip pliers to secure the pin as you use a large flat-head screwdriver to pry the pin retainer off.
7
With the retainer removed, slide out the pin and remove the bracket and spring.
8
Align the spring on the new deflector.
9
Depress the spring lever as you position the bracket then insert the pin.
10
We recommend using a new retainer to secure the pin – support the pin and use a 7/16th inch socket and hammer to fully seat the retainer.
11
Insert a mounting bolt through the bottom of the mower deck then position the new deflector.
12
Thread a nut to secure the bolt.
13
Insert the second mounting bolt then support the bolts as you finish threading the nuts and tighten.
