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

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.
To convert to bagging, mulching or discharge

To assemble and install mulcher plug

lation see "To Convert Mower" in Section 5 of this manual.
