CATCHER
• The grass catcher may be hosed with
water, but must be dry when used.

damage or deterioration. Through
normal use it will wear. If catcher needs
replacing, replace only with a manufac-
turer approved replacement catcher.

mow to be sure they move freely. The
wheels not tuming freely means trash,
grass cuttings, etc., may be inside the
drive wheel and dust cover area and must
be cleaned out to free drive wheels.
If necessary to clean the drive wheels,
check both rear wheels.

axles.
