KNOW YOUR GRASS CATCHER

READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR OPERATING YOUR GRASS CATCHER.
Compare the illustrations with the carton contents to familiarize yourself with the parts before starting the assembly. Study the
operating instructions and safety precautions thoroughly to insure proper functioning of your Grass Catcher and to prevent injury
to yourself and others.  Save this manual for future reference.

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tractor and while
mowing. We recommend wide vision safety mask for over the spectacles or standard safety glasses.

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all parts and packing materials from carton.

Fold flaps to inside of carton and turn carton upsidedown
on floor of work area. To protect grass catcher cover
during assembly place cover upsidedown on overturned
carton.

Check carton contents against list.  Be sure all parts are
there.
