Dumping the Catcher
For dumping, the catcher either tailgate dumps into
a disposal area or dumps into the optional dump
bag. The dump bag is a reusable nylon fabric bag
designed to conveniently move grass clippings from
the catcher to a remote disposal area or container.
Tailgate Dumping
1. Open the back door by lifting on the door handle.
NOTE: To prevent accidental door closure,
a safety latch locks the door open in the
fully opened position while the catcher is be-
ing dumped.
2. Tilt the catcher back to dump by lifting on the
catcher lift handle on the lower front corner of
the catcher.
3. Lower the catcher smoothly down to the normal
operating position. DO NOT allow the catcher
to drop down - the gas spring, that holds the
catcher in the raised position, is not a shock
absorber for lowering the catcher.
4. Close the door by holding the door handle
with the left hand and releasing the safety
latch on the door hinge mechanism with the
right hand. The safety latch is released by
pressing in on the top of the latch. The door
will close smoothly with the assistance of the
gas springs. If the dampening springs are not
functioning properly, they should be replaced
to prevent the door from slamming closed and
possibly causing a pinch point.
