Operation
want to slightly reduce the throttle speed and increase
the ground speed of the mower. The bagging system
may plug if you drive too fast and the engine speed
gets too slow. On hills it may be necessary to slow the
mower ground speed. This helps maintain the engine
speed and bagging efciency.
CAUTION
As the bagger lls, extra weight is added to
the back of the machine. If you stop and
start suddenly on hills, you may lose steering
control or the machine may tip.
• Do Not start or stop suddenly when going
uphill or downhill. Avoid uphill starts.
• If you do stop the machine when going
uphill, disengage the blade control
switch. Then back down the hill using a
slow speed.
• Do Not change speeds or stop on slopes.
Bagging Long Grass
Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be
propelled completely into the grass bags. If this
happens, the discharge tube and chute may plug. To
avoid plugging the bagging system, mow the grass at
a high height of cut, then lower the mower to your
normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process.
Bagging Wet Grass
Always try to cut grass when it is dry because your
lawn will have a neat appearance. If you must cut wet
grass, use the conventional side discharge feature of
the mower. Several hours later, when the clippings
are dry, install the complete bagger attachment and
vacuum up the grass clippings.
Signs of Plugging
As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings
normally blow out the front of the mower. An
excessive amount of clippings blowing out indicates
that the bags are full or the system is plugged.
