General
Operating Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).
Do not open the cover with mower engaged.
After Operation
Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside
of the lid.
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.
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.
WARNING
ALWAYS shut off the tractor. Disengage the PTO,
and allow all moving parts to stop BEFORE
disconnecting or clearing tube, or emptying
catcher.
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.
Before leaving the operator’s position for any
reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.
Storing The Grass Catcher
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.
Clean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild
detergent (other products may damage the tube).
Remove any debris from 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.
