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.
•
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.
