GENERAL INFORMATION

To the New Owner

The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and operators

in maintaining and operating the Excel Two Bag Catcher. Please
read it carefully; information and instructions furnished can help
you achieve years of dependable performance.

Using This Manual

General operation, adjustment and maintenance guidance is

outlined for both the experienced and novice Excel user.
Operating conditions vary considerably and cannot all be
addressed individually. Through experience, however, operators
should find no difficulty in developing good operating skills
suitable to most conditions.

Directions used in this manual, for example RIGHT or LEFT,

refer to directions when in operator position and facing forward,
unless otherwise stated.

Photographs and illustrations used were current at the time of

printing, but subsequent production changes may cause your
machine to vary slightly in detail. Excel reserves the right to
redesign and change the machine as deemed necessary, without
notification. If a change has been made to your machine which
is not reflected in this operator’s manual, or the parts manual,
see your Excel Dealer for current information and parts.

Warranty Registration

Your Excel Dealer must register the unit on-line within 

ten

(10) days

 following date of purchase to validate your warranty

protection. As the new equipment owner, you should confirm
that your Excel Dealer has registered your catcher with Excel
Industries, Inc.

IMPORTANT:  

Any unauthorized modification, alteration,

or use of non-approved attachments voids the warranty and
releases Excel Industries, Inc. from any liability arising from
subsequent use of this equipment. Do not use or operate any
attachment not approved by Excel Industries, Inc.
