WARNING The collection system bags must be completely empty or removed while driving forward onto a trailer. If the mower must be loaded onto a trailer while there is still debris in the container, the mower must be backed up onto the trailer to avoid tipping.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Caring For Hoses Caring For Bags 1. Inspect hoses before each use. If hoses have excessive wear, tears, or punctures, replace immediately. 2. To prolong the life of the hose, periodically rotate hose and turn hose end to end. Refer to Preventative Maintenance Schedule in this manual. 3. Avoid twists and sharp turns in the hoses, as they will increase wear on the hoses. 4. Avoid dragging the lower hose along the sides of buildings or other hard surfaces.
