Installing the Weights

CAUTION

The bagger changes the weight distribution of the
machine. Operating the machine without the front
weights may cause an unstable condition which
could result in a loss of control.

Ensure the front weights are properly installed
before operating the machine with the bagger
attachment.

1.

Install the weight-mounting brackets to the under
side of the frame using two 3/8 x 1 inch bolts and
two 3/8 inch locknuts.
