OPERATION TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING Follow the mower operation instructions in the 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.
