OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOWING WITH A GRASS CATCHER ATTACHMENT

(continued):

7.

Operate the mower at a slower ground speed than

when mowing without a grass catching attachment.

8.

Some mowing applications/use of grass catchers

may require that an optional weight box be fitted to

the mower to counter the weight of grass in the bags.

Please consult with your dealer for more information

regarding installation and adding weight to the box.

CAUTION

Watch for low hanging branches or other obstacles

which might hit the catcher top while turning or

backing the mower.

Use care when backing to avoid pushing the grass

bags into the frame or “hot” exhaust muffler of the

engine.

Disengage blade and stop engine prior to clearing

grass from either the discharge chute or grass

catcher components.

Keep all attachment bolts tight.

Do Not operate the mower with the grass catching

attachment partially removed.

Important:

Do Not leave clippings in the bags while

the mower is stored.

Damp grass clippings are a fire hazard

if left in the bag.
