To Assemble Bagger

NOTE: For ease of assembly, you may wish to obtain the

assistance of another person when putting the bagger to-

gether.

•Assemble front and lower bagger tubes using four (4) 1/

4 x 50,8mm carriage bolts and lock nuts supplied. Tighten

securely.

•Slide front and lower bagger tube assembly into the

bagger assemby.

•Assemble front and upper bagger tubes using four (4) 1/

4 x 50,8mm carraige bolts and lock nuts supplied. Tighten

securely.

•Slip all the vinyl bindings over the bagger tubes

•Slide the bagger dump handle through the hole in the

bagger top, install the clevis pin and secure with retainer

spring.

NOTE: For future use, the clevis pin may be removed in order

to use the handle to clear the chute in the event it has become

clogged.

Bagger adjustment

For proper bag function and appearance, it may be neces-

sary to adjust the bagger assembly. There should be 6mm (1/

4")-9mm (3/8") gap between the bagger top and fender and

the bagger top surface should be even with the top surface

of the fender. To adjust bagger position:

Horizontal adjustment

•Slightly loosen the nuts securing the bagger RH and LH

horizontal adjustment brackets. Loosen only enough so

the brackets keep their position, but allow them to be

moved.

•Move the brackets the amount forward or backward you

wish the bag assembly to move. Retighten the nuts

securely.

Vertical adjustment

•Slightly loosen the nuts securing the vertical adjustment

brackets. Loosen only enough so the brackets keep their

position, but allow them to be moved.

•Move the brackets the amount up or down you wish the

bag assembly to move. Retighten the nuts securely.

•Reinstall the bagger assembly and check the bagger to

fender fit. If necessary, repeat the procedure until proper

fit is attained.
