Clearing Obstructions from
the Bagger
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.
Separate the discharge tube and chute.
5.
Remove the discharge tube and chute from the
bagger top and mower deck. Using a stick or
similar object, carefully remove and clear the
obstruction from the mower, discharge tube,
chute, and the bagger top.
6.
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.
The bagger can be removed 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.
Using the Drawbar
The bagger support bracket has a drawbar feature
that can be used for towing.
•
Read and understand all the operating instructions
of the machine.
•
When turning, slow down and observe the
clearance.
•
Make wide turns and keep towed equipment clear
of the towing vehicle.
•
The maximum drawbar pull is 36 kg (80 lb).
•
Excessive drawbar pull may cause hydrostatic
transmission failure.

Operating Tips
Tips for Bagging
Remembering the Size
Remember that the machine is longer and wider with
this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in
confined places you may damage the attachment.
Trimming
Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do not trim
with the right side of the mower because you could
damage the bagger chute and discharge tube.
Cutting Height
Do not set the mower cutting height too low because
long grass surrounding the mower can prevent air
from getting under the mower and entering the
bagging system. If enough air does not get under the
mower, the bagging system will plug.
Cutting Frequency
Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly.
You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets
excessively long.
Cutting Technique
For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap
the mower into the previously cut area. This helps
