OPERATING
Opera ting
Airflow For Bagger
Bagger needs strong airflow from mower to bags for best
performance. Follow these suggestions to help airflow:
• Keep bagger chute, hopper top, screen, bags and
underside of mower clean.
• Keep throttle lever at fast position but travel at slow
speed.
• Level mower front-to-rear so rear of mower is no more
than 13 mm (1/2 in.) higher than front of mower.
• Operate mower in higher cutting positions.
• Replace worn or damaged mower blades.
Check for Plugging Whi le Bagging
Check the flow indicator on the Rear Bagger or Power Flow
chute periodically for any indication of loss of air flow.
If there is a trail of clippings behind mower or the clippings
blow to the side, check for plugged chute, full bags, or
problems with the blower assembly (if equipped).
If grass builds up in front of mower deck discharge chute,
check for plugged rear bagger or power flow chute, or
problems with the blower assembly (if equipped).
Inspect and Unplug Material Collection System
c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To help prevent injury
from mower blades, do not try to unplug
discharge chute while engine is running.
M41421
Remove debris from the following inspection points:
1. Open hopper cover. Check chute outlet.
2. Remove chute from mower deck or blower assembly (if
equipped). Check chute inlet.
3. Check under mower deck for debris.
Dismounting to Inspect or Unplug Material Collection System
c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Rotating blades are
dangerous:
• Park the machine safely and lock the park
brake before getting off the seat.
• Turn the mower of f.
• Stop the engine .
Before getting off the seat:
1. Stop machine.
2. Disengage mower blades.
3. Move throttle lever to slow position.
4. Lower mower to the ground.
5. Lock the park brake.
6. Stop the engine.
7. Remove the key.
8. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Filling Bags
c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To prevent injury from
thrown objects, do not open catcher while
blades are turning. Shut off engine before
removing or installing bag.
Check level of clippings often.
A
MX10307
When clippings are up to hopper top window (A), empty
bags to avoid plugging bagger chute. Left bag normally fills
first.
Operating - 10
OPERATING
Right bag may not fill completely when you are cutting thin
stand of grass. Bag will fill if you slow engine to reduce
airflow.
Fill bags 1/2 full when operating on slopes to avoid tipping.
Bagging Tips
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Bagger may extend
beyond machine or mower. Be careful not to hit a
tree or building with hopper when you make short
turns.
Run engine at full speed. If engine slows down, reduce
travel speed.
Bag grass only when grass is dry: Wet grass will plug chute
and bagger.
Keep hopper top closed.
Pick up all rocks, stones, twigs and other debris before
mowing and bagging. Cut grass higher than desired the
first time so mower will clear unseen obstructions that could
cause damage to the mower or bagging attachment.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not leave clippings
in bags:
• Moisture may damage bags.
• Damp clippings are a fire hazard.
Never leave grass or leaves in bags overnight or for long
periods of time. Dampness from leaves or grass will cause
deterioration of the bags. Also, damp leaves or grass when
contained in the bags are combustible and can create a
fire. For this reason, never store garbage bags of leaves or
grass bagging attachment with full or partially filled bags in
a garage or other enclosure. Grass clippings make
excellent compost. Clippings can be used also as mulch
between garden rows or around flowers, shrubs and trees.
