Safety Rules and Information
• Know the tractor’s controls and how to stop quickly. READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
• When blower assembly is removed from the mower deck, the deflector must be properly installed.
• 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 catcher or the deflector in place.
• Turn off the PTO to disengage the blades when not mowing.
• DO NOT mow in reverse unless absolutely neces­sary. Always look down and behind before and while travelling in reverse.
• DO NOT turn sharply when traveling 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.
• Collector bags are subject to deterioration and wear during normal use. Inspect the bag periodically for tears, holes, or weak spots and replace with a new bag that meets manufacturer’s durability standards.
• If the mower stalls or the turbo blower/collector chute plugs:
1. Disengage the electric clutch (PTO);
2. Stop the engine and remove the key;
3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving parts to stop before attaching, adjusting, or dis­connecting any part of the collection system.
4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute with a piece of wood before restarting the engine.
Note: Never place hands into blower or mower housing to clear jammed objects. Blower or mower may rotate when object is removed.
• For added tractor 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 Rules and Information
SAFETY DECALS
This unit has been designed and manufactured to pro­vide you with the safety and reliability you would expect from an industry leader in outdoor power equipment manufacturing.
Although reading this manual and the safety instructions it contains will provide you with the necessary basic knowledge to operate this equipment safely and effec­tively, we have placed several safety labels on the unit to remind you of this important information while you are operating your unit.
All DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and instructional messages on your rider, attachments, and mower should be carefully read and obeyed. Personal bodily injury can result when these instructions are not followed. The information is for your safety and it is important! The safety decals below are on your product.
If any decals are lost or damaged, replace them at once. See your local dealer for replacements.
Attachment Safety Decal
These labels are easily applied and will act as a constant visual reminder to you, and others who may use the equipment, to follow the safety instructions necessary for safe, effective operation.
Decal - WARNING Thrown Objects Hazard Part Number 1700259
WARNING
Read and follow all operation and warning 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 important.
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 grass catcher cover.
Mowing with the Catcher
Always operate with throttle at full speed when mowing.
Grass should be cut often, and 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 unit, disengage the PTO, shut off the engine and then empty the catcher or clear the tube.
General Operating Instructions
WARNING
ALWAYS shut off the tractor. 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.
Operating with the Turbo
• 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 to prevent clogging. If grass is too high, operate with mower in high cutting position. Cut the grass again in lower cutting position, if desired.
• Before mowing, clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades.
• The blower housing should be removed for cleaning. If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from under the deck, the tube may be plugged or grass bags are full. Shut off tractor, disengage the PTO, remove the key, and allow all moving parts to stop before disconnecting the tube.
• Always operate at full throttle speed.
Operating without the Turbo
• For operation without the turbo, the deflector must be properly installed in the down position and retained by the spring latch.
• To remove turbo, reverse the installation steps.

General Operating Instructions
CAUTION
Before you begin operating the unit be certain you have read all of the safety and operational information of this instruction sheet, as well as the Operator’s Manual for the tractor and any other attachments. Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).
After Operation
Remove any debris from the screen on the underside of the lid.
The blower housing and tube should be removed for cleaning.
Inspect the grass bags for wear or damage. Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck, blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.
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.
Storing the Grass Catcher
Clean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild deter­gent (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.
