Operation
Operation Safety
•
Become familiar with all operating and safety
instructions in the
Operator's Manual
for your
machine before using this attachment.
•
Never remove the bagger or bagger tubes while
the engine is running.
•
Always shut off the engine and wait for all moving
parts to stop before clearing an obstruction from
the bagging system.
•
Never do maintenance or repairs while the engine
is running.
•
Engage the parking brake.
WARNING
Without the grass deflector, bagger tubes, or
complete bagger assembly mounted in place,
you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with the rotating
mower blade(s), impeller, and thrown debris
will cause injury or death.
•
Always install the grass deflector when
removing the bagger and changing to
side-discharge mode.
•
If the grass deflector is damaged, replace
it immediately. The grass deflector directs
material down toward the turf.
•
Never put your hands or feet under the
machine.
•
Never try to clear the discharge area or
mower blades unless you move the power
take off (PTO) to off and rotate the ignition
key to off. Also, remove the key and pull
the wire off the spark plug(s).
•
Shut off the engine before unclogging the
blower housing.
CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the machine while
it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and engage
the parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
