Preparing the Mower Installing the Grass Baffle Remove the Discharge Chute Install the 48 inch grass baffle to the existing grass baffle with two carriage bolts (5/16 x 3/4 inch), one washer (5/16 inch) and two locknuts (5/16 inch) as shown in Figure 3. Use the washer in the larger, upper hole when installing the 48 inch baffles to the existing baffle. 1. Remove the bolt and nut securing the discharge chute to the mower deck (Fig. 2). Remove the discharge chute and spring assembly.
Installing the Blower Pivot Support Installing the Blower Assembly 1. Slide the pivot support over the threaded stud welded to the front of the mower near the discharge opening. Use the inside slot on the pivot support so that the pivot support is closest to the discharge opening (Fig. 4). Installing the Blower Pulley 1. Pull on the mower idler assembly to release belt tension and remove the blade drive belt from the right side pulley.
Installing the Blower Important You may have to lift the blower slightly for the latch to close. Ensure that the latch operates smoothly and closes completely. 1. Install the mower to the machine; refer to Operator’s Manual. 1 2. Install the blower by lowering the pivot pin into the pivot support (Fig. 6). 2 1840 Figure 8 1 1. Blower latch 2. Pin 2 m–8284 Installing the Belt Covers Figure 6 1. Pivot pin 1. Attach the belt cover bracket to the mower deck with two 1/4 x 3/8 inch screws (Fig. 9).
Assembling the Bagger 3. Mount the blower belt cover using two 1/4 x 5/8 inch bolts and two 1/4 inch locknuts (Fig. 10). Tighten the locknuts slightly so light drag is felt on the belt cover when it is tilted upward. The cover must close freely when assembled. 1. Install the full-bag indicator rod through the hole in the rubber seal and the slot in the bagger cover (Fig. 12). Mount the full-bag indicator rod against the bagger cover using two clips, screws (1/4 x 3/4 in.), and locknuts (1/4 in.) (Fig.
Preparing the Machine Installing the Bagger Mount Installing the Weight 1. Remove the bolts, washers, and nuts holding the rear support rod to the machine. Discard the bolts. Attach the weight to the front of the machine with 4 screws (3/8 x 1.50 in.) (Fig. 14). 2. Attach the support rod and gussets to the machine with 4 bolts (5/16 x 2 in.) and 4 spacers and the washers and locknuts removed in step 1 (Fig. 15). 12 1 2 8 m–5305 10 Figure 14 1. Weight 2.

Installing the Vac-Bagger onto the Machine 2. Install the bags by sliding the bag frame hooks onto the retaining brackets (Fig. 17). Installing the Bagger Assembly 1. Carefully lift the bagger top and slide it onto the quick-attach bracket (Fig. 16). The bagger top is easier to install if two people work together. 1 1 2 2 1373 Figure 17 1. Bag frame hook 2. Retaining bracket 3. Lower the bagger top onto the bags. Then push down on both bag retainer handles until they lock on the bag frame (Fig.
Mounting the Discharge Tube Removing the Bagger 1. Insert the upper end of the discharge tube into the bagger top. Slide the lower end of the discharge tube into the blower discharge extension opening (Fig. 19). 1. Raise the bagger top and remove the grass bags from the bag frame (Fig. 20). 2. Hook the rubber latch onto the knob (Fig. 19). 1 4 2 3 1 2 1376 Figure 20 1. Bagger top 2. Bag retainer handles m–7326 2. Carefully lift the bagger top and slide off the quick-attach bracket (Fig. 21).
Removing the Belt Covers Caution 1. Remove the blower belt cover by removing two 1/4 inch locknuts and 1/4 x 5/8 inch bolts (Fig. 23). If you remove the spring-loaded bagger top when it is closed (in the down position), the top may suddenly fly open and you or someone else may be bruised, pinched, or injured in another way. 2&3 1 Always open (raise) the bagger top before you remove or install it on the quick-attach bracket. 4 3. Remove the plates and fasteners from the quick-attach bracket (Fig.
Note: When nut is removed the shaft is free to drop out of the spindle. Be sure to support the spindle and blade from the bottom side. 2 1 3 1 3 2 m–8285 m–8283 Figure 25 1.

3. Align the discharge chute with the holes in the brackets and the spring and spacer in the space between the brackets and above the deflector (Fig. 31). 1 4. Place the spring and spacer so that the hooked ends of the spring are pointing down, with one end contacting on the mower deck and the other over the deflector (Fig. 31). 5. Secure the deflector to the mower bracket with the bolt. The bolt should pass through the grass deflector, spring, spacer, and brackets.
3. Remove and separate the discharge tube and blower from the bagger top and mower. Using a stick or similar object, carefully remove and clear the obstruction from the mower, discharge tube, blower, and the bagger top. 1 2 4. After you remove the obstruction, install the complete bagger system and resume operation. Operating and Bagging Tips 1381 Size Figure 33 1. Full bag tester handle Remember that the machine is longer and wider with this attachment installed.
Bagging Long Grass the liner out the grass bag or turn the bag upside down while holding the handle on the bottom of the grass bag, allowing the liner to slide out. Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled completely into the grass bags. If this happens, the discharge tube and blower may plug. To avoid plugging the bagging system, mow the grass at a high height of cut, then lower the mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process.
3. Make sure the grass bags are empty and thoroughly dry. 1. Check the blower, discharge tube, and the bagger top. Replace these parts if they are cracked or broken. 4. Store the bagger in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. This protects the plastic parts and extends the life of the bagger. If you must store the bagger outside, cover it with a weatherproof cover. 2. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws. 3. Inspect the grass bags for deterioration.
