OPERATING
Right bag may not fill completely when you are cutting thin
stand of grass. Bag will fill if you slow engine to reduce
airflow.
Fill bags 1/2 full when operating on slopes to avoid tipping.
Bagging Tips
Run engine at full speed. If engine slows down, reduce
travel speed.
Bag grass only when grass is dry: Wet grass will plug chute
and bagger.
Keep hopper top closed.
Pick up all rocks, stones, twigs and other debris before
mowing and bagging. Cut grass higher than desired the
first time so mower will clear unseen obstructions that could
cause damage to the mower or bagging attachment.
Never leave grass or leaves in bags overnight or for long
periods of time. Dampness from leaves or grass will cause
deterioration of the bags. Also, damp leaves or grass when
contained in the bags are combustible and can create a
fire. For this reason, never store garbage bags of leaves or
grass bagging attachment with full or partially filled bags in
a garage or other enclosure. Grass clippings make
excellent compost. Clippings can be used also as mulch
between garden rows or around flowers, shrubs and trees.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Bagger may extend
beyond machine or mower. Be careful not to hit a
tree or building with hopper when you make short
turns.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not leave clippings
in bags:
• Moisture may damage bags.
• Damp clippings are a fire hazard.
