Operation
Operating and Bagging Tips
To Avoid Personal Injury:
• Become familiar with all operating and
safety instructions in the operator’s manual
for your mower before using this
attachment.
• Never do maintenance or repairs while the
engine is running.
Emptying the Grass Bag
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) to stop the
mower blades and release the traction drive or
shift to NEUTRAL as applicable for your
mower.
2. Remove clip and untie bag string at chute
3. Slide bag off frame tube and empty the grass
bag.
4. Reinstall the grass bag and resume operation.
1. Remember that the mower is wider with the
bagger installed. By turning too sharply in
confined places you may damage the bagger.
2. Do not trim with the right side of the mower
because you could damage the bagger.
3. When mowing rough or uncertain, use care to
avoid damaging the bagger.
4. Air flow is required to cut grass and propel it
into the bag. Setting the height–of–cut too low,
especially in heavy or long grass can restrict the
air flow and plug the mower or bagger.
5. To avoid plugging, double–cut the grass, first at
a high height–of–cut and then lower the mower
to the desired setting. Also, try to leave one side
of the mower out of the uncut grass, allowing air
to be drawn into the mower housing.
6. Always install bagging attachment before
starting the engine. When removing or installing
bag SHUT ENGINE AND BLADES OFF.
Clearing Obstructions from
Bagger
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) to stop the
mower blades and release the traction drive or
shift to NEUTRAL as applicable for your
mower.
2. Remove the grass bag and empty it if full.
3. Carefully remove and clear the obstruction from
the mower and chute.
4. Reinstall the grass bag and resume operation.
6
Note: When bagging is not required or when
transporting machine, pivot and hook
bagger frame tubes into the down
position.
Maintenance
Inspecting the Bagger
Inspect the bagger after the first ten hours of
operation and monthly thereafter.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• The grass bag material may tear, wear, and
eventually deteriorate.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• You or bystanders could be severely injured
by flying debris or thrown objects that pass
through a worn or deteriorated grass bag.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Frequently check the grass bag for holes,
wear, and other deterioration. Do not wash
the grass bag. If the bag has deteriorated,
install a new grass bag.
Caring for the Grass Bag
1. Do not wash the grass bag.
2. To prevent rapid deterioration of bag material,
store the bag so it drys completely after each use.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• If you store grass clippings in the grass bag,
under the right conditions, spontaneous
combustion (a fire-generating process that
occurs without an external source of
ignition) could occur.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• If a fire occurs, property could be damaged
and/or someone could be injured.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• The cloth grass bag is not a storage
container. Never store grass clippings and
debris in the grass bag.
