CONTROL WITH SAFETY IN MIND

Keep clippings in check.
Keep safety in focus.

Quickly close the chute to help limit grass clippings and debris thrown through the discharge opening.

  • Help keep clippings off sidewalks and roadways.
  • Control discharge around flower beds, pools, and landscaped areas.
  • Adjust the opening as mowing conditions change.

A chute blocker does not eliminate thrown-object hazards. Keep people and pets clear of the mowing area, and follow your mower’s and Qwikchute’s operating instructions.

04 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PRODUCT

A mowing problem.
A family solution.

In 1999, landscaper Dale Strange teamed up with his father Harry, a design engineer, to create a better way to switch between mulching and side discharge.

That practical idea became Qwikchute. Today, four generations are part of the Strange family’s story at GTM Manufacturing.
