Operation CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Always remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Clearing Obstructions from Removing the Bagger the Bagger System WARNING Components around the engine are hot if the machine has been running. Touching hot components can cause burns. WARNING When the bagger is in operation, the blower is rotating and can cut off or injure hands and fingers. • Do not touch the engine hot components. • Allow engine to cool before removing the bagger.
Bagging Long Grass Operating Tips Longer grass is heavier and may not be propelled completely into the bags. This could plug the bagging system. To avoid plugging, mow the grass at a high height-of-cut, then lower the mower deck to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process. Machine Size Remember that the machine is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places you may damage the attachment or other property.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Inspect the blower belt. • Inspect the bagger. Before each use or daily • Clean the hood screen. • Clean the bagger. Every 25 hours • Inspect the blower belt. Every 50 hours • Grease the idler arm. Every 100 hours • Inspect the bagger. Cleaning the Hood Screen Check belts for cracks, frayed edges, burn marks, or any other damage. Replace any belts that are damaged.
Inspecting the Bagger 7. Install the spring as shown in Figure 49. Service Interval: Every 100 hours After the first 8 hours 1. Park the machine on a level surface. 2. Disengage the blade-control switch, engage the parking brake, and move the motion-control levers outward to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position. 3. Shut off the engine and remove the key. 4. Check the upper tube, lower tube, bagger hood, and the blower assembly. Replace these parts if they are cracked or broken. 5.
Replacing the Grass Deflector Storage 1. Empty the bagger attachment; refer to Emptying the Grass Bags (page 28). WARNING 2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage. An uncovered discharge opening could allow the lawn mower to throw objects at you or bystanders, resulting in serious injury. Also, contact with the blade could occur. 3. Ensure that the bags are empty and thoroughly dry. 4. Inspect the belt for wear or cracks; refer to Inspecting the Blower Belt (page 31).
Troubleshooting Problem There is abnormal vibration. There is reduced bagging performance. Possible Cause 1. The cutting blade(s) is/are bent or unbalanced. 1. Install new cutting blade(s). 2. The blade mounting bolt is loose. 3. The blower pulley or pulley assembly is loose. 4. The bagger belt is worn. 5. The blower fan blade(s) is/are bent or unbalanced. 2. Tighten the blade mounting bolt. 3. Tighten the appropriate pulley. 1. Always operate the bagger at full throttle. 2.
