Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can
result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with
these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety
alert symbol “

”, which means DANGER or WARNING -
“personal safety instructions.” Failure to comply with the
instructions may result in personal injury or death.
Incorrect usage of this attachment may result in severe
injury. Personnel operating and maintaining it should be
trained in the proper use and should read the manuals
completely and thoroughly before attempting to set-up,

Safe Operation and Service Precautions

All operator’s should be familiar with the mower’s opera-
tor’s manual, particularly the operational and safety
instructions contained in this manual.

Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and
attachments are needed to properly and safely perform
the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved
by the manufacturer.

Always stop on level ground, disengage deck clutch,
place steering control lever in the park brake position,
stop engine and remove ignition key before leaving oper-
ator’s seat for any reason including emptying the catcher
bags or unclogging the chute.

Always be aware of any obstructions, especially small
children, when backing or unloading the bags.

Always keep safety shields and covers in place, except
for servicing.

Never work on mower deck when the engine is running.

Never operate machine with the catcher lid in the raised
position except for unloading.

Never attempt high speed maneuvering in crowded or
congested areas.

Only use the weights, furnished with the catcher, when
using the catcher on this mower. Never operate the
mower with the catcher mounted and the weights not
installed. Make sure the weights are properly installed
and secured.

Always be aware that the catcher hangs off the rear of the
mower, thereby increasing the length of the mower. Use
caution when backing up or turning when the catcher is
mounted to the mower.

When the catcher is used, any rapid movement of the
control levers in either direction could result in a reaction
of the mower that can cause serious injury.

Always operate with complete catcher system, mulching
system or side discharge chute in place and in the lowest
position.

Never operate the mower with the catcher system
installed without the bags being properly installed and
the catcher lid in the lowered position.

Always keep clear of the mower blades and attachments
during their operation.

Turn off blades when not mowing.

Stop the engine before removing the grass catcher or
unclogging the discharge chute. Never clear the discharge
chute with the engine running. Turn off the engine and be
sure the blades have stopped before cleaning. Use a stick
to clear a plugged discharge area.
Never use your hand!

Clean flammable material from machine. Prevent
fires by keeping engine compartment, exhaust area,
battery, fuel line, fuel tank and operator’s station
clean of accumulated trash, grass clippings, and other
debris. Always clean up spilled fuel and oil.

Grass collection system components are subject to wear,
damage and deterioration, which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check
components and replace with manufacturer’s recom-
mended parts when necessary.

Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Mate-
rial may ricochet back towards the operator. Always dis-
engage the blades and wait for them to stop before
crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
