Operation

WARNING

The front weight installed without the bagger may cause loss of traction and steering control or an unstable condition which could result in injury or death.

Install the front weight only when the bagger is installed.

Note: The removable weight is heavy. Use care when lifting it. Make sure that you can hold

it securely before lifting it. Use caution when positioning your hands so that you Do Not set it down on your hands or fingers.

11.Install the bagger blades. Refer to the mower operator’s manual for blade installation.

Note: Original equipment blades can be used; however high lift blades are recommended for best performance.

WARNING

Incorrect installation of the blade or components used to retain the blade cause the blade to come loose and could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders.

Always install the original Exmark blades, washers and blade bolts as shown in the mower Operator’s manual.

Larger Machine with Bagger

Remember that the mower is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places you may damage the attachment.

Maintenance

For best cut quality, be sure to check the deck leveling and blade slope (rake). See the tractor Operator’s manual.

Cutting Height

Do Not set the mower cutting height too low because long grass surrounding the mower can prevent air from getting under the mower and entering the bagging system. If enough air doesn’t get under the mower, the bagging system will plug.

Cutting Frequency

Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly. You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets excessively long.

Cutting Technique

For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap the mower into the previously cut area. This helps reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance of plugging the chute and discharge tube.

Using Bag Liners

Although not required, bag liners may be inserted into each grass bag to collect clippings and make disposal more convenient (Figure 9). If you use a bag liner, remove the filled grass bag and close the top of the liner. Then pull the liner out of the grass bag or turn the bag upside down while holding the handle on the bottom of the grass bag, allowing the liner to slide out.
