BLADE REPLACEMENT
Tools Needed:

The mower comes from the factory with a low lift
blade. The blades need to be replaced with the
high lift blades provided in kit. Failure to do this
may result in poor performance of the collection
system.
1. Lift up the front of the mower and secure with
jack stands.
2. Using a 9/16" socket and ratchet, remove the
blade bolts and blades.
3. Reinstall the new high lift blades and bolts.
4. Torque the blade bolts to 35 ft/lbs.

1. Install catcher top to left side of bagger
support, as illustrated. Use a 1/2-13 x 1-1/4"
bolt, one 1/2" washer, a spacer and a 1/2"
nyloc nut. The spacer fits inside hole in
bracket. Repeat for other side. Catcher top
pivots on these bolts.
2. Install a tension spring to left side of the
assembly. Refer to illustration for location of
spring bolt and spring hole to attach spring.
This spring will raise the catcher top when the
latch is released, making it easier to empty the
bags.
3. Install grass bags in catcher. The cutout
portion at the top of the bags goes toward the
front of the machine. The illustrated bag
retaining clip slides between the fabric and the
tube.
4. Close catcher top. Adjust the rear latch to the
desired location and tighten hardware.
