Warning
Inspecting the Mower Blades
1.
Inspect the mower blades regularly and whenever a
blade strikes a foreign object.
2.
If the blades are badly worn or damaged, install new
blades. Refer to your mower or mower operator’s
manual for complete blade maintenance.
Caring for the Grass Bags
Washing the grass bags is not recommended.
To prevent rapid deterioration of the bag material, store the
bags where they will dry completely after each use.
Cleaning the Bagger
Attachment
1.
After each use, remove and wash the inside and outside
of the bagger top, discharge tube, chute, and the
underside of the mower, using water sprayed from a
garden hose. Use a mild automotive detergent to
remove stubborn dirt.
2.
Make sure you remove matted grass from all parts.
3.
After washing, let all of the parts dry thoroughly. Do
not wash the grass bags.
Storing the Bagger Attachment
1.
Clean the bagger attachment; refer to Cleaning the
Bagger Attachment, page 12.
2.
Inspect the bagger attachment for damage; refer to
Inspecting the Bagger Attachment, page 12.
3.
Make sure the grass bags are empty and thoroughly dry.

life of the bagger. If you must store the bagger outside,
cover it with a weatherproof cover.
