Trail shield
To remove/replace a trail shield:

2. Pull back on the trial shield, bending it until it clears
the sub frame.
3. Install it by bending it until the pins fit into the sub-
frame.
4. Let the trail shield snap into place.

to service.
Side discharge door
To remove/replace the side discharge/mulching door:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Open the side discharge door.
3. Remove the screw that secures the hinge to the
mowing deck using a 3/8” wrench.
4. Install by following the previous steps in reverse
order.
NOTE: The hinge is spring loaded. Hold the hinge
flat against the deck before starting the
screw.
5. Test run the mower in a safe area before returning it to service.
Never operate a mower without the trail shield. It is a safety feature that is required by law.
The trail shield is designed to drag on the ground behind the mower. This helps keep the oper-
ator from getting their feet under the mowing deck.
