Clearing Obstructions from
the Bagger
WARNING
When the bagger is in operation, the blower
is rotating and can cut off or injure hands and
fingers.
•
Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing
and inspecting the blower, and before
unclogging the chute, shut off the engine
and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Remove the key.
•
Use a stick or similar object, not your
hands, to remove an obstruction from the
blower and tube.
•
Keep your face, hands, feet, and any other
part of your body or clothing away from
concealed, moving, or rotating parts.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface and
disengage the blade control switch.
2.
Move the motion control levers outward to the
neutral lock position, stop the engine, remove
the key, set the parking brake and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3.
Check the grass bags and empty them if they
are full.
4.
Remove and separate the discharge tube and
chute from the bagger top and mower. Using
a stick or similar object, carefully remove and
clear the obstruction from the mower, discharge
tube, chute, and the bagger top.
5.
After you remove the obstruction, install the
complete bagger system and resume operation.
Removing the Bagger
CAUTION
Failing to remove the front bagger weights
and operating the machine without the bagger
attachment may cause an unstable condition
which could result in a loss of control.
•
Always remove the front weights when
removing the bagger attachment.
•
Never operate the machine without the
bagger attachment and the front weights
still installed.
You can remove the bagger by repeating the Setup
sections from all installed bagger related kits in
reverse order. If weights are installed, always remove
the front bagger weights when removing the bagger
attachments.
Note:
It is only necessary to remove the cutoff baffle
when installing a mulching kit.
