GRASS BAGGING
Ariens recommends grass cutting with grass bagger
without vanes before installing vanes for increased per­
formance. If performance is satisfactory without vanes
(available for mowers of 32" cutting width or less), do
not use vanes. The vanes use more power and generate
more noise. Use vanes only if satisfactory performance
cannot be obtained without them. Generally, broadleaf
grasses can be cut and bagged without vanes. The
finer grasses may require the use of vanes. In extremely
wet conditions, vanes may also be of help.
