OPERATION

TIPS FOR IMPROVED

BAGGING OPERATION

Follow the mower operation instructions in the mower operator’s manual.

When utilizing the grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time will be picked up. The amount collected and the total time of operation may be greater than experienced with regular use of the grass catcher.

Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.

Select a speed low enough to give good mower cutting performance, good quality cut and good bagging performance.

NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit your conditions.

If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice. The first time relatively high, the second time to desired height.

Use left hand side of mower for trimming.

Plastic trash bags (3.0 mil, 30 gallon) can be inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash bags when full:

a.Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the parking brake and stop the engine.

b.Unlatch and raise cover.

c.Remove one container at a time by grasping container handles and pulling toward the rear, off of the tube rails.

d.With the container resting on the ground, close and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.

e.Tip the container on its side and slide the filled bag from the container.

f.Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges of the bag draped over upper lip of the container.

g.Repeat for other containers.

h.Reinstall containers making sure containers overlap left at center supports.

i.Close cover and secure latches over center support tubes.

Avoid cutting wet grass or mowing in the morning while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the flow path causing clogging.

If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the system or that the grass catcher containers are full.

a.Disengage blades, place motion control levers in neutral position.

-Unlatch and raise cover.

-Slide out containers and dispose of clippings.

-Replace containers, close cover, and latch.

b.Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.

-Remove all debris in chute.

-Reassemble and latch chutes.

CAUTION

DO NOT operate mower with grass catcher partially installed.

Disengage blades and stop engine before leaving mower seat to empty containers, unclogging chutes, etc.

Close cover before starting.

Disengage mower blades when crossing driveways or gravel surfaces and other areas where thrown objects could be a hazard.

DO NOT attempt to vacuum up cans or other potentially hazardous projectiles.
