Follow the mower operation instructions in the mower 

operator’s manual.
When utilizing 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.
•  Select a speed low enough to give good mower

cutting performance, good quality cut and good 

bagging performance.
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of

•  If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice.

The first time relatively high, the second time to

desired height.

•  Use left hand side of mower for trimming.
•  Plastic trash bags (3.0 mil, 30 gallon) can be

inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease 

of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash 

bags when full:

 

a.  Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage 

the parking brake and stop the engine.

 

b.  Unlatch and raise cover.

 

c.  Remove one container at a time by grasping 

container handles and pulling toward the rear, 

off of the tube rails.

 

d.  With the container resting on the ground, close 

and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.

e.  Tip the container on its side and slide the filled

bag from the container.

 

f.  Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges 

of the bag draped over upper lip of the 

container.

 

g.  Repeat for other container.

 

h.  Reinstall containers making sure right 

container overlaps left container at center 

supports.

 

i.  Close cover and secure latches over center 

support tubes.

•  Avoid cutting wet grass or mowing in the morning

while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings 

collected under these conditions tend to be sticky 

and adhere to the walls of the flow path causing

clogging.

•  If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass

or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has 

occurred in the system or that the grass catcher 

containers are full.

 

a.  Disengage blades, place motion control levers 

in neutral position.

 

-  Unlatch and raise cover.

 

-  Slide out containers and dispose of 

clippings.

 

-  Replace containers, close cover, and 

latch.

 

b.  Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.

 

-  Remove all debris in chute.

 

-  Reassemble and latch chutes.
