ASSEMBLY

NOTE: The strap hook must go through the discharge chute only. Do not allow the hook to enter the slot in the tractor back plate. This will allow the discharge chute to float with the mower deck when moving on uneven terrain.

BAGGER ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 6 & 7)

For proper bag function and appearance, it may be nec- essary 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 adjust- ment 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.
