Honda 76259-VF9-J01 Deflector Plate

The Honda 76259-VF9-J01 Deflector Plate is a genuine OEM replacement designed for UMK422 and UMK431 trimmers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original component your trimmer left the factory with, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation. Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks, so confirm your trimmer's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure part number 76259-VF9-J01 is the right one for your unit.

Key Features

• Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this deflector plate matches the original in form and function, with no guesswork about fit or compatibility.
• Debris Deflection — a properly functioning deflector plate directs cut material and debris away from the operator; a cracked or missing plate compromises that protection and affects trimmer handling.
• Trimmer-Specific Fitment — built for UMK422 and UMK431 trimmers, including all serial ranges covered under part number 76259-VF9-J01.
• Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates parts across production runs, so cross-check your trimmer's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct plate for your machine.

The deflector plate is mounted at the cutting head of the trimmer and serves as the primary barrier that redirects debris — grass clippings, stones, and other material thrown by the cutting line — away from the operator. It also acts as a line-length limiter, trimming the cutting cord to the correct working length as it rotates past the blade on the plate's edge. When the deflector plate becomes cracked, broken, or lost, debris is no longer directed safely away and the cutting line can run longer than intended, placing strain on the trimmer head and reducing cutting efficiency.
