OPERATION
TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING
• Follow the mower operation instructions in you
mower operator manual.
• When operating the grass catcher on a lawn
where grass and leaf bagging equipment has
not been used, thatch and debris that has
accumulated for long periods of time is picked
up. The amount collected and the total time of
operation may be greater than experienced with
regular use of the grass catcher.
• Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.
• Select a speed low enough to give good mower
cutting performance, good quality cut and good
bagging performance.
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of
cut to suit conditions.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed
twice. The first time relatively high, the second
time to desired height.
• Use left hand side of mower for trimming.
• Plastic trash bags (3.0 mil, 30 gallon) can be
inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease
of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash
bags when full:
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage
the parking brake and stop the engine.
b. Unlatch and raise cover.
c. Remove one container at a time by grasping
container handles and pulling toward the rear,
off of the tube rails.
d. With the container resting on the ground, close
and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.
e. Tip the container on its side and slide the filled
bag from the container.
f. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges
of the bag draped over upper lip of the
Container.
g. Repeat for other containers.
h. Reinstall containers making sure center
containers overlap at center supports.
i. Close cover and secure latches over center
support tubes.
• Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the
dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under
these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to
the walls of the flow path causing clogging.
• If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass
or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has
occurred in the system or that the grass catcher
containers are full.
a. Disengage blades, place motion control levers
in neutral position.
- Unlatch and raise cover.
- Slide out containers and dispose of
clippings.
- Replace containers, close cover, and latch.
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.
- Remove all debris in chute.
- Reassemble and latch chutes.
