OPERATION
Operating the Collection System
1. NEVER USE THE COLLECTION SYSTEM
WITHOUT THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY
AND HOSES SECURELY ATTACHED.
2. Make sure hoses are connected at both
ends. Inspect hoses prior to each use.
3. Do not use the unit on slopes greater than
10 degrees.
4. The mower must be running in order to
vacuum debris through the mower deck.
5. In heavy grass it may be necessary to mow
and collect at a slower ground speed.
6. Never attempt to unclog the collection sys-
tem until the mower’s engine engine has
been shut off and all moving parts have come
to a complete stop.
7. Do not stand behind the vent at the rear of
the collection system due to the potential for
small pieces of blowing debris to escape
through the vent.
8. Wear eye and ear protection.
