Inspecting the Mower Blades
1. Inspect the mower blades regularly and whenever a
blade strikes a foreign object.
2. If blades are badly worn or damaged, install new blades.
Refer to your mower operator’s manual for complete
blade maintenance.
Cleaning the Grass Catcher
1. Frequently clean the inside and outside of the mounting
bracket, grass basket, door, and the mower, using water
sprayed from a hose. Use a mild automotive detergent
to remove stubborn dirt.
2. Ensure you remove matted grass from all parts.
3. After washing let all parts dry thoroughly.
Storing the Grass Catcher
1. Clean the grass catcher (refer to Cleaning the Grass
Catcher, page 4).
2. Inspect the grass catcher for damage (refer to Inspecting
the Bagger, page 3).
3. Ensure the grass basket is empty and dry.
4. Store the grass catcher in a clean, dry place, out of
direct sunlight. This extends the life of the grass catcher.
If you must store the grass catcher outside, cover it with
a weatherproof cover.
