OPERATION

CAUTION
• Do not operate mower with grass catcher partially
installed.
• Disengage blades and stop engine before leaving
tractor seat to empty containers, unclogging chutes,
etc.
• Close cover before starting.
• Disengage mower when crossing drive ways 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.
Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor
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.
• 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
performance. It may be necessary to overlap width of
cut to suit your conditions.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice. The
first time relatively high, the second time to desired
height.
• Use left hand side of mower for trimming.
• Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher
containers for ease of debris disposal.
• 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.
