Operation
3.To remove the bags, shut off deck drive, stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Open the hood and remove the bags by lifting up on the rear of the bag, then unhooking the front clip. Empty bags by inverting them.
4.Reinstall bags, close and latch the hood before continuing mowing.
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 bags get full, the sound of the blower will change and there will be slight blowout from the front right corner of the deck. Emptying the bags at this point will minimize the potential for the tube to plug.
•For units below SN 600,000:
•On Triton: Raise front adjustable baffle to reduce plowing. Lowering front adjustable baffle may prevent “chasing”. Match discharge opening to Ultra Vac intake for best performance.
Bagger Removal for Side Discharge
1.Shut off the deck drive, stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove key.
2.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 hood.
