Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.  
The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over  
the edge or if the edge caves in.  
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or  
trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers  
on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.  
Removegas-poweredequipmentfromthetruckortrailer  
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then  
refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather  
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or  
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.  
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
III. CHILDREN  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to  
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to  
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that  
children will remain where you last saw them.  
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful  
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.  
Before and while backing, look behind and down for  
small children.

KNOW YOUR GRASS CATCHER  
READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR OPERATING YOUR GRASS  
CATCHER. Compare the illustrations with the carton contents to familiarize yourself with the parts before starting the  
assembly. Study the operating instructions and safety precautions thoroughly to insure proper functioning of your Grass  
Catcher and to prevent injury to yourself and others. Save this manual for future reference.  
The operation of any riding mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which  
can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating  
your riding mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision  
safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

OPERATION  
Your bagger is equipped with a full bagger indicator.  
TIPSFORIMPROVEDBAGGINGOPERATION:  
Movement of the wheel increases as the bags fill. The  
wheel will be spinning fastest just before the bags fill  
completely. When the wheel stops, it indicates that the  
bags are full and the chutes have become clogged.  
Follow the mower operation instructions in your riding  
mower owner's manual.  
When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass  
and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are  
picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long  
periods of time. The amount collected and the total time  
of operation may be greater than you will experience with  
regular use of your grass catcher.  
NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes, check/empty  
bagswhenthewheelisspinningfast. Experiencewillteach  
you the best time to empty the bags.  
Care should be taken not to damage the parts and that  
the wheel spins freely at the beginning of each use.  
If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves,  
it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the  
system or that the grass catcher containers are full.  
Usually this is indicated by the stopped movement of  
the full bagger indicator.  
Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.  
Select a gear low enough to give good mower cutting  
performance, good quality cut and good bagging per-  
formance.  
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit  
your conditions.

height.  
parking brake and stop the engine.  
- Unlatch and raise cover.  
- Slide out containers and dispose of clippings.  
- Replace containers, close cover, and latch.  
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.  
- Remove all debris in chutes.  
- Reassemble and latch chutes  
c. Check to insure full bagger indicator has not be-  
come clogged.  
Use left hand side of mower for trimming.  
Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher  
containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the  
plastic trash bags when full:  
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the  
parking brake and stop the engine.  
b. Unlatch and raise cover.  
c. Remove one container at a time by grasping  
container handles and pulling toward the rear, off  
of the tube rails.  
- The air passage hole must be clear of debris.

d. With the container resting on the ground, close  
and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.

e. Tip the container on its side and slide the filled bag  
from the container.

Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew  
is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these  
conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of  
the flow path causing clogging.  
• Close cover before starting.  
• Disengage mower when crossing driveways  
or gravel surfaces and other areas where  
thrown objects could be a hazard.  
• Do not attempt to vacuum up cans or other  
potentially hazardous projectiles.
