Clearing Obstructions from Removing the Bagger the Bagger System WARNING Components around the engine will be hot if the machine has been running. Touching hot components can cause burns. WARNING When the bagger is in operation, the blower can rotate and cut off or injure your hands. • Do not touch engine components when hot. • Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, and inspecting the blower, and before unclogging the chute, shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove the key.
Operating Tips DANGER 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. 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.
Bagging Long Grass If the grass is longer than normal or if it contains a high degree of moisture, raise the cutting height higher than usual and cut and bag the grass at this setting. Then cut and bag the grass again using the lower, normal setting. Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled completely into the bagger. If this happens, the tube and blower may plug.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Inspect the bagger belt. • Inspect the bagger. After each use • Clean the bagger, bags, and fill-indicator impeller. Every 25 hours • Inspect the bagger belt. • Inspect the impeller assembly. Every 100 hours • Inspect the bagger. Cleaning the Bagger and Bags 5. Open the blower assembly to access the belt and pulley. 6.
Inspecting the Mower Blades 1. Inspect the mower blades regularly and whenever a blade strikes a foreign object. 2. If blades are badly worn or damaged, install new blades. Refer to the Operator's Manual for the machine for complete blade maintenance. Installing the Mower Blades g038469 In most mowing conditions, the standard high-lift blades provide the best bagging performance. Figure 27 1. Blower assembly 3. Hex nut Use a Toro Atomic blade for bagging leaves in dry conditions.
Storage 1. Clean the bagger attachment. Refer to Cleaning the Bagger and Bags (page 19). 2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage. Refer to Inspecting the Bagger (page 20). 3. Make sure that 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. 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.
