OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOWING WITH A GRASS CATCHER ATTACHMENT (continued):

7.Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season. Some grass catching attachments require a “high-lift” blade. See your dealer for advice on the type of blade(s) needed for your mower.

8.Some mowing applications/use of grass catchers may require that an additional weight kit 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.

Failure to observe the following instructions

WARNING may result in personal injury.

•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. Fire could result.

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

Do not operate the mower with the grass catching attachment partially removed. Operator or bystanders could be injured by thrown objects.

•Keep all attachment bolts tight.

Important: Do Not leave clippings in the bags while the mower is stored. Damp grass clippings are a fire hazard if left in the bag.
