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.Read and follow the installation instructions that are included with your grass catcher.

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

3.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.

4.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.

5.Keep the underside of the mower deck clean. Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will greatly assist in bagging of the clippings. Never, under any circumstances, should you place hands or feet under the mower deck or in the chute while blades or impeller are still turning.

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