Removing the Bagger
An uncovered discharge opening will
allow objects to be thrown in
operator’s or bystander’s direction.
Also, contact with blade could occur.
Thrown objects or blade contact can
cause serious injury or kill you or
bystanders.
Never operate mower unless discharge
deflector, or entire grass collection
system, or mulch kit is installed.
1. Move the motion control levers outward to
neutral position, disengage the power take
off (PTO), engage parking brake, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
2. Unlatch the upper tube and the lower
tube. Remove the upper tube from the
hood seal.
Operating the mower with the bagger
installed and the front weight removed
may cause loss of traction and
steering control or an unstable
condition which could result in injury
or death.
Install the bagger only when the front
weight is installed.
3. Remove the bagger mount bracket from
the deck and retain all hardware see
Figure 9.
Note: The boot mount bracket does not
have to be removed from the deck.
If you remove the spring-loaded hood
when it is closed (in the down
position), the hood may suddenly fly
open and you or someone else may be
bruised, pinched, or injured in another
way.
Always open (raise) the hood before
you remove or install it on the quick-
attach bracket.
4. Open the hood and remove the two bags from
the bag frame hooks (Figure 13).
5. Lift the bagger mount assembly and hood off
the bagger hitch.
Note: The bagger hitch does not have to be
removed from the unit.
Operating the mower with the front
weight installed and the bagger
removed 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 fingers.
6. Remove the weight on the front of the mower.
Note: The weight support assembly can stay
mounted to the unit when the bagger and
weight are removed.
7. Store all hardware in a convenient location.
Note: On the 52” deck, the discharge baffle
does not have to be removed from the deck;
you may notice better discharge with it
installed. If removed, replace the original
hardware in the deck holes.
