MOWING WITH A
GRASS CATCHER ATTACHMENT (continued):
7. Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting
season. Some grass catching attachments require a
“high-lift” blade. See your dealer for advice on the
type of blade(s) needed for your mower.
8. Some mowing applications/use of grass catchers
may require that an additional weight kit be fitted to
the mower to counter the weight of grass in the
bags. Please consult with your dealer for more
information regarding installation and adding weight
to the box.
• Watch for low hanging branches or other obstacles
which might hit the catcher top while turning or
backing the mower.
• Use care when backing to avoid pushing the grass
bags into the frame or “hot” exhaust muffler of the
engine. Fire could result.
• Disengage blade and stop engine prior to clearing
grass from either the discharge chute or grass
catcher components.
• Do not operate the mower with the grass catching
attachment partially removed. Operator or
bystanders could be injured by thrown objects.
• Keep all attachment bolts tight.
• Important: Do not leave clippings in the bags while
the mower is stored. Damp grass clippings are a fire
hazard if left in the bag.
