READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUALS.  
periodically for tears, holes, or weak spots and  
replace with a new bag that meets manufacturer’s  
durability standards.  
• Read and obey all safety decals.  
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with  
the instructions, to operate the unit.  
• Disengage the PTO. Shut off the engine and wait  
for all moving parts to stop before attaching,  
adjusting, or disconnecting any part of the  
collection system.  
• If the mower stalls or the collector chute plugs:  
1. Disengage the PTO;  
2. Stop the engine and remove the key;  
3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving  
parts to stop.  
4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute  
with a piece of wood before restarting the engine.  
NEVER place hands into COLLECTOR OR  
MOWER housing to clear jammed objects.  
Blower OR MOWER may rotate when object is  
removed.  
• Check the collection system to make sure it is  
bolted tightly to the unit.  
• DO NOT operate the unit without either the entire  
grass catcher or the deflector in place.  
Turn off the PTO to disengage the blades when not  
mowing.  
• DO NOT mow in reverse unless absolutely  
necessary. Always look down and behind before  
and while travelling in reverse.  
• DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a  
building or any object. Slow down before turning.  
• DO NOT carry passengers.  
• When collection system is removed from the  
mower deck, the deflector must be properly  
installed.  
• For added stability and to prevent tipping or loss of  
control:  
a. Use reduced speed on uneven ground and  
when turning corners.  
b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended  
that the collection system be kept only half full  
when negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on  
slopes when the collection system is empty.  
c. Mow up and down the face of slopes; never  
across the face of any slope.  
• Collector bags are subject to deterioration and  
wear during normal use. Inspect the bag  
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6%  
(10°).

Before Operation  
Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other  
debris which may be caught or thrown by the mower  
blades.  
Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the  
day. If grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to  
become plugged.  
For efficient bagging, air circulation under the  
mower deck, through the chute and into the bag  
is very important.  
For this reason, BEFORE YOU BEGIN MOWING you  
should make certain the underside of the mower and  
the underside of the catcher lid are free from grass  
and debris.  
Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower  
deck, blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.  
Mowing with the Catcher  
Always operate with throttle at full speed when  
mowing.  
CAUTION  
Before you begin operating the unit be certain  
you have read all of the safety and operational  
information of this instruction sheet, as well as  
the Operator’s Manual for the tractor and any  
other attachments.  
Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass  
is too long or lush it may be necessary to keep  
ground speed to a minimum or to cut only half the  
width of the mower to prevent clogging. If grass is  
long, operate with mower in high cutting position for  
first pass, cutting again in a lower position on a  
second pass.  
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).  
Do not open the cover with mower engaged.  
After Operation  
Remove any debris from the the screen on the  
underside of the lid.  
If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from  
under deck, the tube may be plugged or the bags  
may be full— discontinue mowing, stop the unit,  
disengage the PTO, shut off the engine and then  
empty the catcher or clear the tube.  
The blower housing and tube should be removed for  
cleaning.  
Inspect the grass bags for wear or damage. Make  
sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck,  
blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.  
WARNING  
ALWAYS shut off the tractor. Disengage the  
PTO, and allow all moving parts to stop  
BEFORE disconnecting or clearing tube, or  
emptying catcher.  
Storing The Grass Catcher  
Clean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild  
detergent (other products may damage the tube).  
Remove any debris from the screen on the underside  
of the lid.  
Before leaving the operator’s position for any  
reason, engage the parking brake, disengage  
the PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.  
If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up  
with paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent  
corrosion.  
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, rider  
and mower free of grass, leaves and excess  
grease. Do not stop or park rider over dry  
leaves, grass or combustible materials.  
Store in a dry area. Dry thoroughly before storing for  
a long period of time. Always store away from  
moisture.  
CAUTION  
Do not leave grass in bagger containers.  
Empty containers after each use and before  
storing. Failure to do so may result in  
spontaneous combustion which could develop  
into a fire.
