OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOWING WITH A GRASS CATCHER ATTACHMENT (continued):
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.
CAUTION
•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 bag. |
