OPERATION IMPROVED BAGGING TIPS Follow the mower operation instructions in the mower operator’s manual. When using the grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time will be picked up. The amount collected and the total time of operation may be greater than experienced with regular use of the grass catcher. • Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.
