INSTALLING SPACER PLUGS TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING
Follow the mower operation instructions in you
mower operator’s manual.
When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where
grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been
used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has
accumulated for long periods of time. The amount
collected and the total time of operation may be
greater than you will experience with regular use of
your grass catcher.
• Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.
• Select a speed low enough to give good mower
cutting performance, good quality cut and good
bagging performance.
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of
cut to suit your conditions.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice.
The first time relatively high, the second time to
desired height.
• Use left hand side of mower for trimming.
• Plastic trash bags (3.0 mil, 30 gallon) can be
inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease
of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash
bags when full:
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage
the parking brake and stop the engine.
b. Unlatch and raise cover.
c. Remove one container at a time by grasping
container handles and pulling toward the rear,
off of the tube rails.
d. With the container resting on the ground, close
and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.
e. Tip the container on its side and slide the filled
bag from the container.
f. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges
of the bag draped over upper lip of the
Container (for replacement bags refer to
REPLACEMENT PARTS).
g. Repeat for other container.
h. Reinstall containers making sure right
container overlaps left container at center
supports.
i. Close cover and secure latches over center
support tubes.
• Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the
dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under
these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to
the walls of the flow path causing clogging.
