OPERATION

CAUTION

•  DO NOT operate mower with grass 

catcher partially installed.

•  Disengage blades and stop engine 

before leaving mower seat to 

empty containers, unclogging 

chutes, etc.

•  Close cover before starting.
•  Disengage mower blades when 

crossing driveways or gravel 

surfaces and other areas where 

thrown objects could be a hazard.

•  DO NOT attempt to vacuum cans 

or other potentially hazardous 

projectiles.

STORAGE

When grass catcher is to be stored for a period of 

time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grass, leaves, 

etc. Store in a clean, dry place.

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

Grass catcher components are subject 

to wear, damage and deterioration, 

which could expose moving parts or 

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently 

check components and replace with 

manufacturer’s recommended parts, 

when necessary.
