Note: Measure from the hood plate to the edge of the tube as shown in Figure 26. This distance needs to be 19 mm (3/4 inch). 8 Installing the Discharge Tubes Parts needed for this procedure: 1 Upper tube 1 Lower tube 3 Bolt (#10 x 3/4 inches) 3 Locknut (#10) 3 Washer (7/32 inch) Procedure Important: Make sure that the mower deck is in the lowest height-of-cut position when you install the discharge tubes. Note: Remember to replace the grass deflector when you remove the bagger from the machine.
8. Install the lower tube into the upper tube (Figure 28). Figure 28 1. Lower tube 2. Upper tube 9. Slide the lower tube onto the boot and latch them together (Figure 29). Figure 29 Note: There is a latch on the top and bottom of the blower housing. 1. Blower assembly 3. Latch 2. Lower tube 10. Make sure that the mower deck is in the lowest height-of-cut position and the mark on the upper tube is still positioned against the protruding rubber seal.. 11.

Operation 13 Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Checking the Tire Pressure Important: Set the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes. No Parts Required WARNING Procedure To avoid personal injury, follow these procedures: Note: Increase the tire pressure due to the additional weight.
CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Always remove the ignition key and set the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes. Positioning the Adjustable Baffle Adjust the baffle to position B (middle position) for bagging. Refer to the Operator Manual for the machine. Figure 37 1. Bag 2. Bottom handle 6. Repeat for the other bag. 7.
Using the Grass Deflector Note: In most cases, the debris can be shaken out of the tubes. DANGER 7. If the blower assembly is plugged, unlatch the bagger blower assembly, remove the belt, and swing it open. Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or death. 8.
Cutting Frequency Signs of Plugging Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly. You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets excessively long (refer to Bagging Long Grass (page 21)). As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings normally blow out the front of the mower. An excessive amount of clipping blow-out indicates that the bagger is full or the tube is plugged.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Inspect the bagger belt. • Inspect the bagger. Before each use or daily • Clean the hood screen. • Clean the bagger. Every 25 hours • Inspect the bagger belt. Every 50 hours • Grease the idler arm. Every 100 hours • Inspect the bagger. Replacing the Bagger Belt Cleaning the Hood Screen 1.
Greasing the Idler Arm 8. Install the spring as shown in Figure 39. Service Interval: Every 50 hours Grease the bagger belt idler arm every 50 hours (Figure 41). Figure 39 1. Spring-loaded idler pulley 3. Long-hook end 2. Short-hook end Figure 41 9. Install the belt onto the spring-loaded idler pulley (Figure 39).
Installing the Mower Blades In most mowing conditions, the standard high lift blades will provide the best bagging performance. Use a Toro Atomic blade for bagging leaves in dry conditions. In dry dusty conditions, the medium lift or low lift blades will reduce dust and dirt blowout while providing effective bagging air flow. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the proper blades for different mowing conditions. Refer to the machine Operator's Manual for more information on installing blades.
Storage 1. Clean the bagger attachment. Refer to Cleaning the Bagger and Bags (page 22). 2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage. Refer to Inspecting the Bagger (page 23). 3. Make sure the bags are empty and thoroughly dry. 4. Check the belt for wear or cracks. 5. Store the machine in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If you must store the machine outside, cover it with a weatherproof cover. This protects the plastic parts and extends the life of the machine.
Troubleshooting Problem There is abnormal vibration. The bagging performance is reduced. The blower and tubes plug too frequently. Possible Cause 1. Cutting blade(s) is/are bent or unbalanced. 1. Install new cutting blade(s). 2. Blade mounting bolt is loose. 3. The blower pulley or pulley assembly is loose. 4. The bagger belt is worn. 5. Blower fan blade(s) is/are bent or unbalanced. 2. Tighten the blade-mounting bolt. 3. Tighten the appropriate pulley. The blower impeller does not spin freely. 4.
