Dumping the Catcher
DANGER
Do not mow or dump grass within 5 feet
(1.5 meters) of an embankment or retaining
wall with drop off.
For dumping, the catcher either tailgate dumps into
a disposal area or dumps into the optional dump
bag. The dump bag is a reusable nylon fabric bag
designed to conveniently move grass clippings from
the catcher to a remote disposal area or container.
CAUTION
Use leg muscles and rm footing when lift-
ing the catcher to dump; avoid bending at
the waist and using back muscles in order
to prevent back injury.
Tailgate Dumping
1. Open the back door by lifting on the door handle.
2. Tilt the catcher back to dump by lifting on the
catcher lift handle on the lower front corner of
the catcher.
3. Lower the catcher smoothly down to the normal
operating position. DO NOT allow the catcher
to drop down - the gas spring, that holds the
catcher in the raised position, is not a shock
absorber for lowering the catcher.
4. Close the door by holding the door handle.
The door will close smoothly with the assis-
tance of the gas springs. If the dampening
springs are not functioning properly, they
should be replaced to prevent the door from
slamming closed and possibly causing a pinch
point.
Using the Dump Bag
1. Open the back door by lifting on the door handle.
2. Orient the dump bag with one (or two) of the
handle straps on the bag opening facing up.
