OPERATION
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Always observe safety rules when performing any 
maintenance.
•  Before each use check for loose fasteners.
•  Clean unit thoroughly after each use.
BLADE CARE
For best results mower blades must be kept sharp.
Replace bent or damaged blades.
•  See BLADE CARE instructions in your mower
operator’s manual.
STORAGE
When grass bagger is to be stored for a period of time, 
clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grass, leaves, etc. 
Store in a clean, dry place. 
TIPS TO IMPROVE BAGGING 
Follow the mower operation instructions in your mower 
operator’s manual.
When operating your grass bagger on a lawn where 
grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been 
used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has
accumulated for long periods of time. The amount 
collected and the total time of operation may be 
greater than you will experience with regular use of 
your grass bagger.
•  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
cut to suit your conditions.
•  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 bagger 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 (for replacement bags refer to
REPLACEMENT PARTS).
 
g.  Repeat for other containers.
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 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 bagger fails to pick up cut grass
or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has 
occurred in the system or that the grass bagger 
containers are full.
 
a.  Disengage blades, place motion control levers 
in neutral position, engage parking brake and
stop engine.
 
-   Unlatch and raise cover.
 
-   Slide out containers and dispose of 
clippings.
 
-   Replace containers, close cover, and 
latch.
b.  Check for clogging.
 
-   Remove all debris in chute.
 
-   Reassemble chutes.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate mower with grass 
bagger partially installed.
Disengage blades and stop engine 
before leaving mower seat to 
empty containers, unclogging 
chutes, etc.
Close cover before starting.
Disengage mower blades when 
crossing driveways or gravel 
surfaces and other areas where 
thrown objects could be a hazard.
DO NOT attempt to vacuum up 
cans or other potentially hazardous 
projectiles.
