See Rider Operators Manual

GENERAL WARNINGS

• Know the unit's controls and how to stop quickly.

READ THE OPERATOR'S MANUALS.

• Read and obey all safety decals.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with
the instructions, to operate the unit.

• Disengage the PTO. Shut off the engine and wait for
all moving parts to stop before attaching, adjusting,
or disconnecting any part of the collection system.

• Check the collection system to make sure it is bolted
tightly to the unit.

• DO NOT operate the unit without either the entire
grass bagger or the deflector in place.

• Turn off the PTO to disengage the blades when not
mowing.

• DO NOT mow in reverse. Always look down and
behind before and while travelling in reverse.

• DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a
building or any object. Slow down before turning.

• DO NOT carry passengers.

• When collection system is removed from the mower
deck, the deflector must be properly installed.

• Grass bagger components are subject to wear,
damage, and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.

Frequently check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended parts, when neces-

sary.

• If the mower stalls or the collector chute plugs:

1. Disengage the PTO;

2. Stop the engine and remove the key;

3. Set the parking brake, and wait for atl moving
parts to stop.

4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute
with a piece of wood before restarting the engine.
NEVER place hands into COLLECTOR OR

MOWER housing to clear jammed objects.
MOWER may rotate when object is removed.

• For added stability and to prevent tipping or loss of
control:

a. Use reduced speed on uneven ground and
when turning corners.
b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended

that the collection system be kept only half full

when negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on
slopes when the collection system is empty.
c. Mow up and down the face of slopes; never

across the face of any slope.

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6%

(10°).

SAFETY DECALS

BEFORE OPERATION

Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris
which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades.

Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the day.
If grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to become
plugged.

For efficient bagging, air circulation under the
mower deck, through the chute and into the bag is

very importanL

For this reason, BEFORE YOU BEGIN MOWING you
should make certain the underside of the mower and

the underside of the catcher lid are free from grass and
debris.

Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck,
blower housing, tubes, and hopper.

MOWING WITH THE BAGGER

Always operate with throttle at full speed when mowing.
Grass should be cut often, but not too short. If grass is

too long or lush it may be necessary to keep ground
speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width of the

mower to prevent clogging. If grass is long, operate with
mower in high cutting position for first pass, cutting again

in a lower position on a second pass.

Do not open the cover with mower engaged.

If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from under
deck, the tube may be plugged or the bags may be full--
discontinue mowing, stop the rider, disengage the PTO,
shut off the engine and then empty the bagger or clear

the tube.

• WARNING

ALWAYS shut off the unit. Disengage the PTO,
and allow all moving parts to stop BEFORE

disconnecting or clearing tube, or emptying
catcher.

Before leaving the operator's position for any

reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the

PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, rider and
mower free of grass, leaves and excess grease.

Do not stop or park rider over dry leaves, grass or

combustible materials.

Never operate mower on slopes greater than 10°.

AFTER OPERATION

Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside
of the hopper lid. Note: The lid screen can be partially

removed for easier cleaning and should be cleaned regu-

larly.

The discharge tubes should be removed for cleaning.

,_ WARNING: Inspect the grass bags for wear or

hole damage before and after each use. Debris
can fly through holes during operation.

STORING THE GRASS BAGGER

CAUTION

Do not leave grass in bagger containers. Empty
containers after each use and before storing.
Failure to do so may result in spontaneous

combustion which could develop into a fire.

Clean the grass bagger thoroughly using a mild deter-
gent (other products may damage the tube). Remove
any debris from the the screen on the underside of the

lid.
If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up with

paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent corrosion.
Store in a dry area. Dry thoroughly before storing for a

long period of time. Always store away from moisture.

NOTE: In this manual, "left" and "right" are always defined from

the standpoint of the operator position facing forward from seat.
