2.Ensure the blower, belt cover, bags, tube and hood are in good condition, properly attached, and latched.

5.2MOWING

1.The Ultra Vac blower operates when deck drive is engaged. Be sure that all persons are clear of the mower deck before engaging the cutting blades. Set the throttle to “midway” position. Pull outward on the PTO switch to the “ROTATE” position. Accelerate to full throttle to begin mowing.

2.To disengage the deck drive and blower, set the throttle to “idle” position. Push in on the PTO switch to the “STOP” position to stop the cutting blades and blower. The cutting blades will require a slightly longer amount of time to come to a complete stop when the blower is installed on the deck.

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.

5.3BAGGER REMOVAL FOR SIDE DISCHARGE:

1.Shut off the deck drive, stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove spark plug wire(s) or remove key.

2.Remove the discharge tube by releasing the latch at the blower. Slide the tube off the blower outlet and remove the upper end from the hood.

3.Remove the Belt cover by loosening the knobs. For 60” units the outboard knob does not need to be removed completely to remove the belt cover.
