OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOWING WITH A GRASS CATCHER ATTACHMENT:
In order to achieve optimum performance when mowing with a grass
catching attachment, please read and follow the tips listed below.
1. Set engine speed control to the wide open or
full setting. Allow engine, mower deck and
blower to reach full RPM before attempting
to mow.
2. Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet.
Wet grass will clog both the underside of the
deck and the attachment chutes. Empty bags
often to prevent plugging.
3. If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut
height selector in the top or second notch.
“Initially” overlap cutting swaths instead of a
full swath with each pass.
4. Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean.
Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will
greatly assist in bagging of the clippings.
5. Use only the correct blade(s). Some grass
catching attachments require a “high-lift” blade.
See your dealer for advice on the type of blade(s)
needed for your mower.
6. Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting
Season.
