TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING

operator’s manual.
When utilizing the grass catcher on a lawn where
grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been
used, thatch and debris that has accumulated for long
periods of time will be picked up. The amount collected
and the total time of operation may be greater than
experienced with regular use of the grass catcher.
