WARNING
The front weight installed without the bagger
may cause loss of traction and steering
control or an unstable condition which could
result in injury or death.
Install the front weight only when the bagger
is installed.
Note: The removable weight is heavy. Use care
when lifting it. Make sure that you can hold
it securely before lifting it. Use caution when
positioning your hands so that you Do Not set it
down on your hands or ngers.
11. Install the bagger blades. Refer to the mower
operator’s manual for blade installation.
Note: Original equipment blades can be used;
however high lift blades are recommended for
best performance.
WARNING
Incorrect installation of the blade or
components used to retain the blade cause
the blade to come loose and could seriously
injure or kill you or bystanders.
Always install the original Exmark blades,
washers and blade bolts as shown in the
mower Operator’s manual.
Operating Tips
Larger Machine with Bagger
Remember that the mower is longer and wider with
this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in
conned places you may damage the attachment.
Maintenance
For best cut quality, be sure to check the deck leveling
and blade slope (rake). See the tractor Operator’s
manual.
Trimming
Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do Not
trim with the right side of the mower because you
could damage the bagger’s chute and discharge tube.
Cutting Height
Do Not set the mower cutting height too low because
long grass surrounding the mower can prevent air
from getting under the mower and entering the
bagging system. If enough air doesn’t get under the
mower, the bagging system will plug.
Cutting Frequency
Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly.
You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets
excessively long.
Cutting Technique
For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap
the mower into the previously cut area. This helps
reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance
of plugging the chute and discharge tube.
Using Bag Liners
Although not required, bag liners may be inserted
into each grass bag to collect clippings and make
disposal more convenient (Figure 9). If you use a bag
liner, remove the lled grass bag and close the top of
the liner. Then pull the liner out of the grass bag or
turn the bag upside down while holding the handle
on the bottom of the grass bag, allowing the liner to
slide out.
