TO OPERATE ELECTRIC DUMP SYSTEM
NOTE: For tractors that have the factory equipped electric dump
system, the ignition switch must be in the “ON” position for the
bagger to dump. Tractors retrofitted with the kit do not.
WARNING: Keep fingers and objects clear of the bagger
during operation.
TO DUMP BAGGER
Your tractor is equipped with a Dump Bag Alarm. To turn off the
alarm disengage the attachment clutch control.
CAUTION: Do NOT place objects on top of the bagger or lean
on the bagger.
•
Position tractor in location you wish to dump bagger.
•
Ensure that the transaxle is in the neutral position. Set park-
ing brake.
•
To dump clippings, activate the electric dump switch by turning
the switch counterclockwise until bagger reaches its highest
position.
28. Unclip the mesh side from the bagger frame on the left side
of the tractor to access the actuator assembly.
NOTE: Extend or retract the actuator as needed to align the
mounting hole with the upper bracket slot.
25. Press the switch down to extend the actuator fully while
supporting the actuator with your right hand.
CAUTION: Do not allow the actuator to press into the back plate.
26. With the actuator resting on the back plate, reinstall the bag-
ger onto the back of the tractor.
27. Snap the hole cover from the kit into the hole in the bagger
top where the dump handle was located.
•
To continue mowing, ensure that the area around the tractor
is clear and carefully pull forward until the bagger has cleared
the grass pile. Once the bagger is clear of the grass pile, stop
the tractor, ensure the transaxle is in the neutral position, set
the parking brake, and turn the dump switch clockwise until
the bagger is completely down.
29. Reaching into the bagger, connect the actuator to the upper
pivot bracket assembly using the 1-3/4" clevis pin.
30. Reach into the bag and use a clip provided in the kit to secure
the 1-3/4" clevis pin.
31. Use the switch to raise the bagger and then reattach the
bagger mesh to the side of the bagger frame.
32. Place the included warning label on the fender of the tractor.
IMPORTANT: The electric dump system may be equipped with an
overload protection device. If the bagger system is overloaded, it
will cut power to the system. The protection device will automati-
cally reset after approximately 2 minutes. Once the system has
reset, ensure that nothing is on top of or against the bagger that
could overload the system. Open the bag slightly using the switch
and then use a small rake or similar tool to scoop grass out of the
bag. Once you have removed the excess load, attempt to dump
the bagger using the electric dump system.
