Rear discharge door
To remove/replace the rear discharge door:
1. Remove the rear bagger (if installed).
2. Grab the pivot rod with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Slide it to the right (towards the height adjuster).
See Figure 4.5.
NOTE: There is a shear load putting tension on the pivot
rod. It will take some force to overcome this load.
3. Once enough of the pivot rod stick out, grab the end
of it and pull it all the way out. See Figure 4.6.
4. Lift the door off of the mower.
5. Remove the torsion springs from each side of the
door.
6. Install the torsion springs in the new door.
NOTE: The short hook on the end of the spring hooks into
the door. See Figure 4.7.
