BAGGER ASSEMBLY

Instructions for the catcher bag

WARNING!

Machines equipped with a catcher MUST not be used with defective catcher bags or without the catcher bag.

They pose a risk of thrown stones, eye in- jury and inhalation of pollution.

Catcher bag

Insert the catcher bag into the underside of the handle and open the safety door place bag on the catcher chute.

See ”Assembly instructions\Assembly directions, collector bag”.

Correct height setting

The thatch collected will be thrown into the catcher by the force arising from the flail blades combing through the grass. The blades may not strike the soil. If the blades come in contact with the soil, they will claw, which results in ineffective dethatching.

Collection conditions

One achieves best results if the lawn is short and dry. Wet lawns make collection less effective. If the grass is long, one may end up pulling and tearing at the lawn. If the layer of thatch is thick, Husqvarna recommends going over the lawn first in one direction and then again in a perpendicular direction. A thick layer of thatch may have formed over several years, and the lawn may need combing 2-3 times before it is removed completely. Do not attempt to remedy a major problem by combing the lawn just once.

Maintenance

Check prior to use that the catcher is properly assembled and that the bag is not damaged. See ”Assembly instructions\Assembly directions, collector bag”.

Clean the equipment after use.
