Safety Rules
& Information
Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of
unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The trian-
gle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.
GENERAL WARNINGS
• Know the unit’s controls and how to stop quickly.
READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUALS.
• If the mower stalls or the collector chute plugs:
1. Disengage the PTO;
• Read and obey all safety decals.
2. Stop the engine and remove the key;
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with
the instructions, to operate the unit.
3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
• Disengage the PTO. Shut off the engine and wait for
all moving parts to stop before attaching, adjusting,
or disconnecting any part of the collection system.
• Check the collection system to make sure it is bolted
tightly to the unit.
• DO NOT operate the unit without either the entire
grass catcher or the deflector in place.
• Turn off the PTO to disengage the blades when not
mowing.
• DO NOT mow in reverse. Always look down and
behind before and while travelling in reverse.
• DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a
building or any object. Slow down before turning.
• DO NOT carry passengers.
• When collection system is removed from the mower
deck, the deflector must be properly installed.
4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute
with a piece of wood before restarting the engine.
NEVER place hands into COLLECTOR OR
MOWER housing to clear jammed objectS.
Blower OR MOWER may rotate when object is
removed.
• For added stability and to prevent tipping or loss of
control:
a. Use reduced speed on uneven ground and
when turning corners.
b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended
that the collection system be kept only half full
when negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on
slopes when the collection system is empty.
c. Mow up and down the face of slopes; never
across the face of any slope.
• When operating on slopes, use front counter-
weights. Never operate on slopes greater than
17.6% (10°).
• Collector bags are subject to deterioration and wear
during normal use. Inspect the bag periodically for
tears, holes, or weak spots and replace with a new
bag that meets manufacturer’s durability standards.
SAFETY DECALS
These labels are easily applied and will act as a constant
visual reminder to you, and others who may use the
equipment, to follow the safety instructions necessary for
safe, effective operation.
This unit has been designed and manufactured to pro-
vide you with the safety and reliability you would expect
from an industry leader in outdoor power equipment
manufacturing.
ATTACHMENT DECALS
Although reading this manual and the safety instructions
it contains will provide you with the necessary basic
knowledge to operate this equipment safely and effec-
tively, we have placed several safety labels on the unit to
remind you of this important information while you are
operating your unit.
All DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and instructional
messages on your rider, attachments and mower should
be carefully read and obeyed. Personal bodily injury can
result when these instructions are not followed. The
information is for your safety and it is important! The
safety decals below are on your product.

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
REQUIRED ACCESSORIES
Always operate with throttle at full speed when mowing.
A front-mounted factory approved weight carrier and 66
lbs. worth of weights are required when using this rear-
mounted grass catcher. Never operate on slopes
greater than 17.6% (10°).
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.
AFTER OPERATION
Do not open the cover with mower engaged.
CAUTION
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.
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.
WARNING
Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside
of the lid. Note: The lid screen can be partially removed
for easier cleaning and should be cleaned regularly.
ALWAYS shut off the tractor. Disengage the PTO,
and allow all moving parts to stop BEFORE
disconnecting or clearing tube, or emptying
catcher.
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.
Before leaving the operator’s position for any
reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.
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.
STORING THE GRASS CATCHER
Clean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild deter-
gent (other products may damage the tube). Remove
any debris from the the screen on the underside of the
lid.
CAUTION
If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up with
paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent corrosion.
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.
Store in a dry area. Dry thoroughly before storing for a
long period of time. Always store away from moisture.
