OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOWING WITH A GRASS CATCHER ATTACHMENT:
In order to achieve optimum performance when mowing with a grass catching attachment, please read and
follow the tips listed below.
1. Some applications may require installation of an "Optional" weight box on the front of the mower
to offset cut grass weight.
2. Set engine speed control to the wide open or full setting.
3. Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet. Wet grass will clog both the underside of the deck and
the attachment chutes. Empty bags often to prevent plugging.
4. If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height selector in the top or second notch. Initially overlap
cutting swaths instead of a full swath with each pass.
5. Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean. Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will greatly
assist in bagging of the clippings.
6. Maintain Sharp Blades Throughout The Cutting Season. Some grass catching attachments require "Hi-
Lift" blades.
7. Operate the mower at a slower ground speed than when mowing without a grass catching attachment.
• 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.
• Disengage blade and stop engine prior to clearing grass from either the discharge chute or grass catcher
components.
• Keep all attachment bolts tight.
• Do Not operate the mower with the grass catching attachment partially removed.
• Important:
• Do not leave clippings in the bags while the mower is stored.
• Damp grass clippings are a fire hazard if left in the bags.
