Install the discharge chute onto the mower (Figure 35) in between the mounting brackets. Remove the two carriage bolts (5/16 x 3/4 inch), one washer (5/16 inch) and two locknuts (5/16 inch), as shown in Figure 34, securing the 48 inch baffle to the existing grass baffle. Remove the 48 inch grass baffle. Figure 34 1. Mower deck 2.
Mounting the Mower Cutting Technique 1. Install the mower onto the machine; refer to Operator’s Manual for instructions. 2. Replace the left side mower leveling bracket (hole) with the slotted leveling bracket (Figure 36). Secure it with the existing washers and hairpin cotters. For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap the mower into the previously cut area. This helps reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance of plugging the chute and discharge tube.
Signs of Plugging As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings normally blow out the front of the mower. An excessive amount of clippings blowing out indicates that the bags are full or the system is plugged.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 10 hours • Inspect the bagger Before each use or daily Before storage • Clean the bagger • Inspect the bagger • Clean the bagger If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders.
