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. Read and follow the installation instructions that are
included with your grass catcher.
2. Set engine speed control to the wide open or full
setting.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Keep the underside of the mower deck clean.
Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will greatly
assist in bagging of the clippings. Never, under
any circumstances, should you place hands
or feet under the mower deck or in the chute
while blades or impeller are still turning.
6. Operate the mower at a slower ground speed than
when mowing without a grass catching attachment.
7. Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting
season. Some grass catching attachments require
a “high-lift” blade. See your dealer for advice on
the type of blade(s) needed for your mower.
