OPERATION TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING • • • • • Follow the mower operation instructions in you mower operator manual. When operating 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 is 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.
