Turn off the PTOto disengagethe blades when not
mowing.
DONOTmow in reverseunless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before andwhile travelling

DONOTturn sharply whentravelling alongsidea building
or any object. Slow down before turning.
DONOTcarry passengers.
When collection system is removed from the mower
deck,the deflector must be properly installed.
Collectorbags are subject to deterioration andwear
during normal use. inspectthe bagperiodically for tears,
holes, or weak spots and replacewith a new bagthat
meetsmanufacturer's durability standards.
, Foraddedstability and to preventtipping or loss of
control:
a.Use reducedspeedon uneven ground andwhen
turning corners.
b. Reduceloadson hillsides. It is recommendedthat the

BeforeOperation
Clearthe lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris
which maybe caught or thrown bythe mower blades.
Checkgrass condition, if wet,wait until later in the day.
If grass is wet, the grass catcheris likelyto become
plugged.
Forefficient bagging, air circulation underthe mower
deck,through the chute and into the bag isvery impor-
tant.
Forthis reason, BEFOREYOUBEGINMOWINGyou
should makecertain the underside of the mower and
the underside of the catcherlid arefree from grass and
debris.
Makesure that there is a snug fit between mower deck,
blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.
Operation
Mowingwiththe Catcher
Alwaysoperate with throttle at full speedwhen mowing.
Grassshould becut often, and not too short. If grass istoo
long or lush it maybe necessaryto keepground speedto a
minimum or to cut only half the width of the mower to pre-
vent clogging. If grass is long, operatewith mower in high
cutting position for first pass,cutting againin a lower posi-
tion on a second pass.
Do notopen the coverwith mowerengaged.
If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from under
deck,the tube may be plugged or the bagsmay be full--
discontinue mowing, stopthe unit, disengagethe PTO,shut
off the engineand then empty the catcher or clearthe tube.
_ WARNING:ALWAYSshut off the tractor. Disengage
the PTO,andallow allmoving parts to stop BEFORE
disconnecting or clearingtube, or emptying catcher.
Beforeleavingthe operator's position for any reason,
engagethe parking brake,disengage the PTO,stop the
engine and removethe key.
To reducefire hazard,keepthe engine, rider and mower
free of grass, leavesand excessgrease.Do not stop
or park rider overdry leaves,grass or combustible
materials.
After Operation
Removeany debris from the screen on the underside of the
lid.
Theblower housing and tube should be removed for clean-
ing.
inspectthe grass bags for wear or damage. Makesure that
there is asnug fit betweenmower deck,blower housing,
tubes, and grass catchercover.
CAUTION:Do not leavegrass in bagger containers.
Emptycontainers after each useand before storing.
Failureto do so may result in spontaneouscombustion
which could develop into afire.
_ CAUTION:Beforeyou begin operating the unit be
certain you havereadall of the safety and operational
information of this instruction sheet, as well asthe

Standard Hardware Sizing
When a washer or nut is identified as 1/2", this is the
Nominal size, meaning the inside diameter is 1/2 inch; if a
second number is present it represent the threads per inch
When bolt or capscrew is identified as 1/2 - 16 x 2", this
means the Nominal size, or body diameter is 1/2 inch; the
second number represents the threads per inch (16 in this
example, and the final number is the body length of the
bolt or screw (in this example 2 inches long).
