Operating Instructions

Power Dump Option
When equipped with the optional power dump sys
tem, the operator dumps the catcher while sitting in
the seat. A toggle switch operating a power ram is
used to raise and lower the catcher. The back door
automatically opens and closes during the dump
cycle.
Hold the toggle switch
UP
or
DOWN
to
RAISE
or
LOWER
the catcher. When the catcher reaches the
full raised or lowered position, the power ram clutch
will make a ratcheting sound. Release the toggle
switch as soon as this sound is heard.
DO NOT
operate the ram with the clutch ratcheting for an
extended time
as this will cause extra wear on the
clutch mechanism.
CAUTION
The operator should be in the seat and by-
standers stay clear when the power dump
is operating. The power dump is used
ONLY for tailgate dumping. Do not attempt
to use the optional dump bag or any other
bag with the power dump.
NOTE:
If grass tends to hang up in the catcher
after raising the catcher with the power dump, “jig
gle” the steering levers and make the tractor bounce
a little to unstick the grass and make it slide out of
the catcher.
NOTE:
With the power dump mechanism in the
normal operating position (catcher down), the catch
er can be
manually raised
for access to the engine
and the catcher can be
manually dumped.
