Procedure:
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 fingers.
1. Attach the weight support assembly
(item 5) to the front panel foot rest with
two 3/8-16 x 1 button head screws
(item 4) and two nyloc nuts (item 2) as
shown in Figure 4.

Note: If your mower does not have mounting
holes on the foot rest, position the back of the
weight support assembly on the cross bar
under the foot rest. Center the weight support
assembly and mark the two mounting holes
on the lip of the foot rest. Drill holes using a
13/32” drill bit. Install weight support
assembly as stated in step 1.
2. Insert the weight (item 3) onto the weight
support assembly (item 5).

mounted to the unit when the bagger and
