Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the flow path causing clogging. • Your bagger is equipped with a dump bag indicator. As the bags become full, the flow indicating ball will drop down in its slot, indicating that the bags are full or the chutes have become clogged.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS STORAGE Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance. • Before each use check for loose fasteners. • Clean unit thoroughly after each use. When grass catcher is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grass, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry place. CAUTION: Do not leave grass in bagger containers. Empty containers after each use and before storing.
