Removing the Bagger

An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects to be thrown in operator’s or bystander’s direction. Also, contact with blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you or bystanders.

Never operate mower unless discharge deflector, or entire grass collection system, or mulch kit is installed.

1.Move the motion control levers outward to neutral position, disengage the power take off (PTO), engage parking brake, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.

2.Unlatch the upper tube and the lower tube. Remove the upper tube from the hood seal.

Operating the mower with the bagger installed and the front weight removed may cause loss of traction and steering control or an unstable condition which could result in injury or death.

Install the bagger only when the front weight is installed.

3.Remove the bagger mount bracket from the deck and retain all hardware see Figure 9.

Note: The boot mount bracket does not have to be removed from the deck.

If you remove the spring-loaded hood when it is closed (in the down position), the hood may suddenly fly open and you or someone else may be bruised, pinched, or injured in another way.

Always open (raise) the hood before you remove or install it on the quick- attach bracket.

4.Open the hood and remove the two bags from the bag frame hooks (Figure 13).

5.Lift the bagger mount assembly and hood off the bagger hitch.

Note: The bagger hitch does not have to be removed from the unit.

Operating the mower with the front weight installed and the bagger removed 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.

6.Remove the weight on the front of the mower.

Note: The weight support assembly can stay mounted to the unit when the bagger and weight are removed.

7.Store all hardware in a convenient location.

Note: On the 52” deck, the discharge baffle does not have to be removed from the deck; you may notice better discharge with it installed. If removed, replace the original hardware in the deck holes.
