Safety

Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and decals in the safety section. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.

Training

• Regard the Exmark Bagger as a piece of power equipment and teach this regard to all who operate this unit.

• Before operating your Bagger, carefully read and understand this manual and the operator’s manual for your mower in their entirety. Familiarize yourself with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read English, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to them.

• Do not allow operation of this machine by untrained personnel. Never allow children, teenagers, or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

• Avoid mowing while people, especially children, or pets, are nearby. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

Preparation

• Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved by Exmark.

• The use of personal protective equipment, such as (but not limited to) protection for the eyes, ears, feet, and head is recommended.

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate equipment when barefoot or when wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects which may damage the equipment or cause personal injury to the operator or bystanders.

Operation

Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the equipment. It is essential that all Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating condition prior to use for mowing. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for the mower for additional hazard control and accident prevention information.

Think Safety First

To avoid personal injury, follow these procedures:

• Become familiar with all operating

and safety instruction in the Operator’s manual for the mower before using this attachment.

• Never remove the discharge tube,

bags, bagger top or discharge deflector while the engine is running.

• Always shut the engine off, engage

parking brake, wait for all moving parts to stop and remove key before clearing an obstruction from the bagging system.

• Never do maintenance or repairs while the engine is running.

• Never operate the lawn mower unless you install a mulch plate, discharge deflector, or entire grass collection system.

Slopes

• Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction and/or tip-over could occur. The operator is responsible for safe operation on slopes.

• Progressively greater care is needed as the slope increases.

• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control.

Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.

To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:

• Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.

• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.

• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.

• Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Mower may tip backwards.

• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill. Weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.

• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine.

• Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• The operating characteristics of the machine will change with the Bagger installed. The stability and traction of the machine will change as the Bagger fills with grass clippings. Use progressively greater care on slopes as the Bagger fills.

• Always install and remove the Bagger, including counterweights, as instructed. Failure to do so will cause a reduction in stability or traction. Do not operate the mower with only a portion of the Bagger installed.

Clearing Obstructions from the Bagger

Figure 12

1. Hood 2. Bag retainer latches

3. Compress debris into the bags. With both hands, lift up on the bag and unhook it from the retaining bracket. Empty the bag. Repeat the procedure for the other bag.

2. Check the grass bags and empty them if they are full.

3. Remove and separate the discharge tube and chute from the bagger hood and mower. Using a stick or similar object, carefully remove and clear the obstruction from the mower, discharge tube, chute, and the hood.

4. After you remove the obstruction, install the complete bagger system and resume operation.

Removing the Bagger

An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects to be thrown in operator’s or bystander’s direction. Also, contact with blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you or bystanders.

Never operate mower unless discharge deflector, or entire grass collection system, or mulch kit is installed.

2. Unlatch the upper tube and the lower tube. Remove the upper tube from the hood seal.

Operating the mower with the bagger installed and the front weight removed may cause loss of traction and steering control or an unstable condition which could result in injury or death.

Install the bagger only when the front weight is installed.

3. Remove the bagger mount bracket from the deck and retain all hardware see Figure 9.

Note: The boot mount bracket does not have to be removed from the deck.

If you remove the spring-loaded hood when it is closed (in the down position), the hood may suddenly fly open and you or someone else may be bruised, pinched, or injured in another way.

Always open (raise) the hood before you remove or install it on the quickattach bracket.

4. Open the hood and remove the two bags from the bag frame hooks (Figure 13).

5. Lift the bagger mount assembly and hood off the bagger hitch.

Note: The bagger hitch does not have to be removed from the unit.

Operating the mower with the front weight installed and the bagger removed may cause loss of traction and steering control or an unstable condition which could result in injury or death.

Install the front weight only when the bagger is installed.

6. Remove the weight on the front of the mower. Note: The weight support assembly can stay

mounted to the unit when the bagger and weight are removed.

7. Store all hardware in a convenient location. Note: On the 52” deck, the discharge baffle

does not have to be removed from the deck; you may notice better discharge with it installed. If removed, replace the original hardware in the deck holes.

Replacing the Discharge Deflector

Never operate mower unless discharge deflector, or entire grass collection system, or mulch kit is installed.

1. Locate items shown in Figure 14.

4. Make sure that the spring and rod are installed so that the rod is retained from sliding out by the front bracket and the spring holds the discharge deflector in the down position. Refer to (Figure 14) for proper orientation.

Important: The discharge deflector must be spring loaded in the down position. Lift the deflector up to test that it snaps to the full down position.

Operating Tips

Larger Machine with Bagger

Remember that the mower is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places you may damage the attachment.

Trimming

Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do not trim with the right side of the mower because you could damage the bagger’s chute and discharge tube.

Cutting Height

Do not set the mower cutting height too low because long grass surrounding the mower can prevent air from getting under the mower and entering the bagging system. If enough air doesn’t get under the mower, the bagging system will plug.

1. Mower deck 2. Disc harge def lector

3. Discharge deflector bracket 4. Spring

5. Rod 6. Assembled view

Figure 14

2. Place the discharge deflector on the deck.

3. Orient the spring so that the short leg points towards the discharge deflector and the longer leg points towards the deck as shown in Figure 14. Place spring on rod and slide rod, straight end, through the front discharge deflector bracket, discharge deflector, and rear deflector bracket.

Cutting Frequency

Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly. You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets excessively long.

Cutting Technique

For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap the mower into the previously cut area. This helps reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance of plugging the chute and discharge tube.

Using Bag Liners

Although not required, bag liners may be inserted into each grass bag to collect clippings and make disposal more convenient (Figure 15). If you use a bag liner, remove the filled grass bag and close the top of the liner. Then pull the liner out the grass bag or turn the bag upside down while

holding the handle on the bottom of the grass bag, allowing the liner to slide out.

Figure 15

1. Cloth grass bag 2. Bag (liner)

Bagging Speed

Most often you will bag with the mower throttle in the Fast position and drive at a normal ground speed. However, in extremely dry and dusty grass, you may want to slightly reduce the throttle speed and increase the ground speed of the mower. The bagging system may plug if you drive too fast and the engine speed gets too slow. On hills it may be necessary to slow the mower ground speed. This helps maintain the engine speed and bagging efficiency.

As the bagger fills, extra weight is added to the back of the machine. If you stop and start suddenly on hills, you may lose traction and steering control or the machine may tip.

• Do not start or stop suddenly when

going uphill or down hill. Avoid uphill starts.

• If you do stop the machine when

going uphill, disengage the PTO. Then back down the hill using a slow speed.

• Do not change speeds or stop on slopes.

Bagging Long Grass

Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled completely into the grass bags. If this happens, the discharge tube and chute may plug. To avoid plugging the bagging system, mow the grass at a high height of cut, then lower the mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process.

Bagging Wet Grass

Always try to cut grass when it is dry because your lawn will have a neat appearance. If you must cut wet grass, use the conventional side discharge feature of the mower. Several hours later, when the clippings are dry, install the complete bagger attachment and vacuum up the grass clippings.

Signs of Plugging

As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings normally blow out the front of the mower. An excessive amount of clippings blowing out indicates that the bags are full or the system is plugged.

Maintenance

Note: The left and right sides of the machine are determined while sitting in the seat in the

normal operating position.

Maintenance Procedure

• Inspect the bagger

• Clean the bagger.

• Inspect the bagger.

• Clean the bagger.

If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidentally start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders.

• Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before

you do any maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.

Debris built up in the engine compartment, if not removed, could be ignited by a hot engine. A fire in the engine compartment can burn you and others and can damage property.

• Before using and while the engine is cool, check for debris in the engine compartment.

• Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.

• Clean up oil or fuel spillage and fuel soaked debris.

• Allow the machine to cool before storing.

Inspecting the Bagger

Cleaning the Bagger

Attachment

Inspect the bagger attachment after the first 10 hours of operation, and monthly thereafter.

1. Check the chute, discharge tube, and the bagger top. Replace these parts if they are cracked or broken.

2. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.

3. Under normal use the bags will

deteriorate and wear. Inspect the grass bags for deterioration.

You or bystanders could be severely injured by flying debris or thrown objects that may pass through torn, worn or deteriorated grass bags.

• Frequent l y check the grass bags

for holes, rips, wear, and other deterioration.

• Do not wash the grass bags.

• If the bag has deteriorated, install

new grass bags supplied by the manufacturer of this bagger attachment.

Inspecting the Mower Blades

Refer to your mower Operator’s Manual for complete blade maintenance.

Caring for the Grass Bags

Washing the grass bags is not recommended.

Under normal use the bags will deteriorate and wear. To prevent rapid deterioration of the bag material, store the bags where they will dry completely after each use.

Attachment

1. After each use, remove and wash the inside and outside of the bagger top, discharge tube, chute, and the underside of the mower, using water sprayed from a garden hose. Use a mild automotive detergent to remove stubborn dirt.

2. Make sure you remove matted grass from all parts.

3. After washing, let all of the parts dry thoroughly. Do not wash the grass bags.

Storage

Storing the Bagger Attachment

1. Clean the bagger attachment; refer to Cleaning the Bagger Attachment.

2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage; refer to Inspecting the Bagger Attachment.

3. Make sure the grass bags are empty and thoroughly dry.

4. Store the bagger in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. This protects the plastic parts and extends the life of the bagger. If you must store the bagger outside, cover it with a weatherproof cover.

Tips and Troubleshooting

1. When the bags get full, there will be slight blowout from the front right corner of the deck. Emptying the bags at this point will minimize the potential for the tube to plug.

2. If there is excessive blowout from the deck, check to make sure that the rear screen in the hood is clear of grass build up. It is recommended that the screen and mesh portions of the bags be cleaned regularly to maintain proper air flow. This is especially important in wet conditions.

3. During dry conditions check engine air cleaners and clean cooling fins more frequently. The bagger has been designed to minimize the impact of dust and debris on the mower, but bagging can be a dirty environment.

4. During dry conditions, switching to a lower lift blade may reduce blowout without hurting quality of cut.

5. Maintaining a ground speed that does not pull down the engine RPM will allow for the highest productivity and best quality of cut. Bogging the engine RPM down by going too fast will cause plugging and quality of cut issues.

6. When storing the bagger, it is recommended that any grass build up in the tubes be cleaned out.
