TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING

Follow the mower operation instructions in you mower 

operator’s manual.
When operating your grass catcher 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 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.

•  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 (for replacement bags refer to

REPLACEMENT PARTS).

 

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 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.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Always observe safety rules when performing any 

maintenance.

•  Before each use check for loose fasteners.
•  Clean unit thoroughly after each use.

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp.

Replace bent or damaged blades.

•  See BLADE CARE instructions in your mower

operator’s manual.
