3.To empty the hopper, first disengage the PTO. Lift up on the handle to open the door and empty the hopper. If the unit is to be driven onto a truck or trailer with the hopper full, always back the unit up the ramp. This will reduce the chance of rearward tip up. See the Transporting section for additional information regarding loading a unit on a truck or trailer.
4.Close and latch the door before continuing mowing. Do Not engage the cutting blades while the door is in the open position.
Tips for mowing conditions:
•When mowing in areas with sandy soil, use low lift blades on the cutting deck and higher cutting heights to minimize wear on the blower components.
•When mowing in wet conditions, such as just after a rain or in heavy dew, use low lift blades on the cutting deck to minimize plugging of the blower.
•Maintaining a ground speed that does not pull down the engine RPM will allow for the highest productivity and best quality of cut. Bogging the engine RPM down by going too fast will cause plugging and quality of cut issues.
•When the Ultra Vac gets full, the sound of the blower will change and there will be slight blowout from the front right corner of the deck. Emptying the Ultra Vac at this point will minimize the potential for the tube to plug.
2.Disengage the PTO, stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage parking brake.
3.Remove the discharge tube by releasing the latches at the blower. Slide the tube off the blower outlet and remove the upper end from the hopper.

Collection System Removal for Side Discharge
1. Empty the hopper.

The hopper assembly is heavy when it is full, which may make it difficult to remove the hopper assembly from the unit. The entire hopper assembly may fall, which may cause injury.
Prior to removing the hopper assembly from the unit, first empty the contents.
