OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

7. Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season. Some
grass catching attachments require a “high-lift” blade. See your
dealer for advice on the type of blade(s) needed for your
mower.
8. Some mowing applications or use of grass catchers may
require that an additional weight kit be fitted to the mower to
counter the weight of grass in the bags. Please consult with
your dealer for more information regarding installation and
adding weight to the box.
9. Ensure mower is equipped with an approved, dealer-installed
roll-over protection and seat belt kit.
•
Watch for low hanging branches or other obstacles that might
hit the catcher top while turning or backing the mower.
•
Use care when backing to avoid pushing the grass bags into
the frame or “hot” exhaust muffler of the engine. Fire could
result.
•
Disengage blade and stop engine prior to clearing grass from
either the discharge chute or grass catcher components.
•
Do not operate the mower with the grass catching attachment
partially removed. Operator or bystanders could be injured by
thrown objects.
•
Keep all attachment bolts tight.
•
Important: Do not leave clippings in the bags while the mower is
stored. Damp grass clippings are a fire hazard if left in the bag.
