General  
Operating Instructions  
Before Operation  
Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris  
which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades.  
Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the day.  
If grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to become  
plugged.  
For efficient bagging, air circulation under the  
mower deck, through the chute and into the bag is  
very important.  
For this reason, BEFORE YOU BEGIN MOWING you  
should make certain the underside of the mower and  
the underside of the catcher lid are free from grass and  
debris.  
Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck,  
blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.  
Mowing with the Catcher  
Always operate with throttle at full speed when mowing.  
CAUTION  
Before you begin operating the unit be certain  
you have read all of the safety and operational  
information of this instruction sheet, as well as  
the Operator’s Manual for the tractor and any  
other attachments.  
Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass is  
too long or lush it may be necessary to keep ground  
speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width of the  
mower to prevent clogging. If grass is long, operate with  
mower in high cutting position for first pass, cutting again  
in a lower position on a second pass.  
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).  
Do not open the cover with mower engaged.  
After Operation  
Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside  
of the lid.  
If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from under  
deck, the tube may be plugged or the bags may be full—  
discontinue mowing, stop the unit, disengage the PTO,  
shut off the engine and then empty the catcher or clear  
the tube.  
The blower housing and tube should be removed for  
cleaning.  
Inspect the grass bags for wear or damage. Make sure  
that there is a snug fit between mower deck, blower  
housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.  
WARNING  
ALWAYS shut off the tractor. Disengage the PTO,  
and allow all moving parts to stop BEFORE  
disconnecting or clearing tube, or emptying  
catcher.  
CAUTION  
Do not leave grass in bagger containers. Empty  
containers after each use and before storing.  
Failure to do so may result in spontaneous  
combustion which could develop into a fire.  
Before leaving the operator’s position for any  
reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the  
PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.  
Storing The Grass Catcher  
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, rider and  
mower free of grass, leaves and excess grease.  
Do not stop or park rider over dry leaves, grass or  
combustible materials.  
Clean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild  
detergent (other products may damage the tube).  
Remove any debris from the screen on the underside of  
the lid.  
If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up with  
paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent corrosion.  
Store in a dry area. Dry thoroughly before storing for a  
long period of time. Always store away from moisture.
