To determine which model of rider you have, you will
need to locate the rider’s model plate, located under the
seat. Simply flip the seat up and locate the model plate,
which will consist of an 11 digit/letter model number
and a serial number. For ease in this installation and
for future use, copy your rider’s model number & serial
number below now:
Figure ꢀ
Rider Model Number:__ __ __ __ ___ __ __ __

The 5th, 6th & 7th numbers from the left in your model
number determine your rider’s model series. See Figure

When you fill in your model number in the space above,
the actual model series number should fall into the gray
shaded area.
Now that you have determined what model rider you are
attaching this grass bag collection system to, follow the
instructions on the following pages according to your

discharge chute to posi-
tion B or C corresponding
to the position of the
grass catcher pin at A,
B or C on the deck. See
