Clearing Obstructions from

Operating and Bagging Tips
1. Remember that the mower is wider with the
bagger installed. By turning too sharply in
confined places you may damage the bagger.
2. Do not trim with the right side of the mower
because you could damage the bagger.
3. When mowing rough or uncertain, use care to
avoid damaging the bagger.
4. Air flow is required to cut grass and propel it
into the bag. Setting the height–of–cut too low,
especially in heavy or long grass can restrict the
air flow and plug the mower or bagger.
5. To avoid plugging, double–cut the grass, first at
a high height–of–cut and then lower the mower
to the desired setting. Also, try to leave one side
of the mower out of the uncut grass, allowing air
to be drawn into the mower housing.
6. Always install bagging attachment before
starting the engine. When removing or installing
bag SHUT ENGINE AND BLADES OFF.
Note: When bagging is not required or when
transporting machine, pivot and hook
bagger frame tubes into the down
position.
