Safety Rules  
& Information  
Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of  
unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The trian-  
gle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.  
GENERAL WARNINGS  
• Know the unit’s controls and how to stop quickly.  
READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUALS.  
• If the mower stalls or the collector chute plugs:  
1. Disengage the PTO;  
• Read and obey all safety decals.  
2. Stop the engine and remove the key;  
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with  
the instructions, to operate the unit.  
3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving  
parts to stop.  
• 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.  
• 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. 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
• When operating on slopes, use front counter-  
weights. Never operate on slopes greater than  
17.6% (10°).  
• Collector bags are subject to deterioration and wear  
during normal use. Inspect the bag periodically for  
tears, holes, or weak spots and replace with a new  
bag that meets manufacturer’s durability standards.  
SAFETY DECALS

General  
Operating Instructions  
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  
REQUIRED ACCESSORIES  
Always operate with throttle at full speed when mowing.  
A front-mounted factory approved weight carrier and 66  
lbs. worth of weights are required when using this rear-  
mounted grass catcher. Never operate on slopes  
greater than 17.6% (10°).  
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.  
AFTER OPERATION  
Do not open the cover with mower engaged.  
CAUTION  
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.  
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.  
WARNING  
Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside  
of the lid. Note: The lid screen can be partially removed  
for easier cleaning and should be cleaned regularly.  
ALWAYS shut off the tractor. Disengage the PTO,  
and allow all moving parts to stop BEFORE  
disconnecting or clearing tube, or emptying  
catcher.  
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.  
Before leaving the operator’s position for any  
reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the  
PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.  
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.  
STORING THE GRASS CATCHER  
Clean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild deter-  
gent (other products may damage the tube). Remove  
any debris from the the screen on the underside of the  
lid.  
CAUTION  
If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up with  
paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent corrosion.  
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.  
Store in a dry area. Dry thoroughly before storing for a  
long period of time. Always store away from moisture.
