SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine run-  
ning.  
IV.TOWING  
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing.  
Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard  
frequently and replace with manufacturer's recommended  
parts, when necessary.  
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves,  
and use extra caution when servicing them.  
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as  
required.  
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as neces-  
sary.  
Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.  
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight limits  
for towed equipment and towing on slopes.  
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.  
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause  
loss of traction and loss of control.  
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.  
V. SERVICE  
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care  
in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the  
vapors are explosive.  
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of  
ignition.  
Use only approved gasoline container.  
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.  
Allow engine to cool before refueling.  
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-  
ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.  
Never carry passengers.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.  
Always look down and behind before and while back-  
ing.  
Nevercarrychildren,evenwiththebladesshutoff. They  
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with  
safemachineoperation.Childrenwhohavebeengiven  
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing  
area for another ride and be run over or backed over  
by the machine.  
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandinthewatchful  
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Before and while backing, look behind and down for  
small children.  
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.  
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the  
area.  
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have  
to stop or shift while on the slope.  
Never fuel the machine indoors.  
Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an  
open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater  
or other appliances.  
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer  
bed with plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground  
away from your vehicle when filling.  
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer  
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel  
such equipment with a portable container, rather than from  
a gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or  
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do  
not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.  
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten se-  
curely.  
GENERAL SERVICE  
Never operate machine in a closed are.  
Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in  
safe working condition.  
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper opera-  
tion regularly.  
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.  
Clean oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-soaked debris.  
Allow machine to cool before storing.  
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the  
tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed  
slowly straight down the slope.  
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades,  
shift into reverse and back down slowly.  
If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine.  
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn  
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

KnowYour Grass Catcher  
READTHISOWNER'SMANUALANDSAFETYRULESBEFOREASSEMBLINGOROPERATINGYOURGRASSCATCHER.  
Compare the illustrations with the carton contents to familiarize yourself with the parts before starting the assembly. Study  
the operating instructions and safety precautions thoroughly to insure proper functioning of your Grass Catcher and to  
prevent injury to yourself and others. Save this manual for future reference.  
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in  
severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tractor and  
while mowing. We recommend a wide vision safety mask for over the spectacles or standard safety  
glasses.

OPERATION  
Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew  
TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING  
OPERATION:  
is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these  
conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of  
the flow path causing clogging.  
Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor  
owner's manual.  
Your bagger is equipped with a full bagger indicator.  
Movement of the wheel increases as the bags fill.The  
wheel will be spinning fastest just before the bags fill  
completely.When the wheel stops, it indicates that the  
bags are full and the chutes have become clogged.  
When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass  
and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are  
picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long  
periods of time. The amount collected and the total time  
of operation may be greater than you will experience with  
regular use of your grass catcher.  
NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes, check/empty  
bags when the wheel is spinning fast.Experience will teach  
you the best time to empty the bags.  
Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.  
Care should be taken not to damage the parts and that  
the wheel spins freely at the beginning of each use.  
If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves,  
it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the  
system or that the grass catcher containers are full.  
Usually this is indicated by the stopped movement of  
the full bagger indicator.  
Select a gear low enough to give good mower cutting  
performance, good quality cut and good bagging  
performance.  
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit  
your conditions.  
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice.The  
first time relatively high, the second time to desired  
height.  
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the  
parking brake and stop the engine.  
Use left hand side of mower for trimming.  
- Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.  
- Slide out containers and dispose of clippings .  
- Replace containers, close cover, and latch.  
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.  
- Remove all debris in chutes.  
Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher  
containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the  
plastic trash bags when full:  
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the  
parking brake and stop the engine.  
b. Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.  
- Reassemble and latch chutes  
c. Remove one container at a time by grasping  
container handles and pulling toward the rear, off  
of the tube rails.  
d. With the container resting on the ground, close  
and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.  
e. Tip the container on its side and slide the filled bag  
from the container.  
f. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges of the  
bag draped over upper lip of the container.  
c. Checktoinsurefullbaggerindicatorhasnotbecome
