• a propulsion motor selectively powering the walking element;
• a mower deck mounted to the frame;
• a cutting blade rotatably mounted within the mower deck;
• a bagger supported on the frame apart from the mower deck, the bagger defining a collection chamber downstream from the mower deck;
• a discharge tube in fluid communication between the mower deck and the bagger, the discharge tube comprising an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a tube passage to direct clippings from the mower deck to the bagger, wherein a guide track is provided on the discharge tube;
• and
• a chute collar disposed on the discharge tube, the chute collar comprising
• a sleeve body extending circumferentially about at least a portion of the exterior surface,
• a hand grip extending outward from the sleeve body, and
• a collar tab disposed in complementary engagement with the guide track to restrict circumferential movement of the chute collar relative to the discharge tube.
