OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOWING WITH A GRASS CATCHER ATTACHMENT:

In order to achieve optimum performance when mowing with a grass catching attachment, please read and follow the tips listed below.

1.Set engine speed control to the wide open or full setting.

2.Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet. Wet grass will clog both the underside of the deck and the attachment chutes. Empty bags often to prevent plugging.

3.If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height selector in the top or second notch. "Initially" overlap cutting swaths instead of a full swath with each pass.

4.Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean. Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will greatly assist in bagging of the clippings.

5.Use only the correct blade(s). Some grass catching attachments require a "high-lift" blade. See your dealer for advice on the type of blade(s) needed for your mower.

6.Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting Season.

7.Operate the mower at a slower ground speed than when mowing without a grass catching attachment.

8.Some mowing applications/use of grass catchers may require that an optional weight box be fitted to the mower to counter the weight of grass in the bags. Please consult with your dealer for more information regarding installation and adding weight to the box.

•Watch for low hanging branches or other obstacles which might hit the catcher top while turning or backing the mower.

•Use care when backing to avoid pushing the grass bags into the frame or "hot" exhaust muffler of the engine.

•Disengage blade and stop engine prior to clearing grass from either the discharge chute or grass catcher components.

•Keep all attachment bolts tight.

•Do Not operate the mower with the grass catching attachment partially removed.

• Important:

• Do not leave clippings in the bags while the mower is stored.

 

• Damp grass clippings are a fire hazard if left in the bags.
