A
Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor owners manual
When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time The amount collected and the total time of operation may be greater than you will ex perience with regular use of your grass catcher.
TOUCHING HOT MUFFLER OR ENGINE
COMPONENTS.____________________________
DO NOT OPERATE MOWER WITH GRASS CATCHER ASSEMBLY PARTIALLY INSTALLED.
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice
The first time relatively high, the second time to
desired height NOTE: Use L.H. side of mower for
trimming. Plastic lawn bags can be inserted inside grass cat
cher containers for ease of debris disposal.
DISENGAGE MOWER WHEN CROSSING GRAVEL SURFACES AND ANY CONDI TIONS WHERE THROW N OBJECTS COULD BE A HAZARD
A
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VACUUM UP CANS OR OTHER POTENTIALLY HAZAR DOUS PROJECTILES.
Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the flow path causing clogging. Keep clear grass catcher chute tube clean so that clogg ng can be detected
DISENGAGE BLADES AND STOP ENGINE BEFORE OPENING COVER
INSTALL CONTAINERS OPERATING.
CLOSE COVER BEFORE STARTING
MOWER.
KEEP CLEAR GRASS CATCHER CHUTE TUBE CLEAN TO DETECT CLOGGING. IF CLOGGING OCCURS, DISENGAGE BLADES, SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE BEFORE REMOVING TUBE TO CLEAR OBSTRUCTION.
BEFORE
TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING OPERATION:
1.
Place throttle control at full throttle.
2.
Select a gear low enough to give good mower cut ting performance, good quality cut and good bagg ing performance. NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit your conditions.
