Emptying the Grass Bags Operation DANGER WARNING Debris, such as leaves, grass, or brush can catch fire. A fire in the engine area can cause personal injury and property damage. To avoid personal injury, do the following: • Become familiar with all operating and safety instructions in the Operator's Manual for the mower before using this attachment. • Keep the engine and muffler area free of debris accumulation.
Clearing Obstructions from Removing the Bagger the Bagger CAUTION Failing to remove the front bagger weights and operating the machine without the bagger attachment may cause an unstable condition, which could result in a loss of control. WARNING When the bagger is in operation, the blower is rotating and can cut off or injure hands and fingers. • Always remove the front weights when removing the bagger attachment.
Operating Tips CAUTION As the bagger fills, extra weight is added to the back of the machine. If you stop and start suddenly on hills, you may lose steering control or the machine may tip. Tips for Bagging Remembering the Size of the Machine with the Attachment • Do not start or stop suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Avoid uphill starts. Remember that the machine is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places, you may damage the attachment.
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 8 hours • Inspect the blower belt. • Inspect the bagger. After each use • Clean the hood screen. • Clean the bagger. Every 25 hours • Inspect the blower belt. Every 100 hours • Inspect the bagger.
Cleaning the Bagger and Bags 3. Remove the existing bagger belt from the mower-deck pulley. 4. Remove the blower from the mower deck. Service Interval: After each use 5. Wash the inside and outside of the bagger hood, bags, tube, and the underside of the mower. Remove the existing bagger belt from the blower pulleys. 6. Note: Use a mild automotive detergent to remove dirt. Install the new belt around the blower pulleys (Figure 36). 7. Install the blower onto the blower support. 1. 2.
Replacing the Grass Deflector WARNING An uncovered discharge opening could allow the machine to throw objects toward you or bystanders, resulting in serious injury. Also, contact with the blade could occur. 3. Position the new discharge deflector with the bracket ends between the welded brackets on the deck as shown in Figure 38. 4. Install the spring onto the straight end of the rod. 5.
Storage Storing the Bagger Attachment 1. Clean the bagger attachment; refer to Cleaning the Bagger and Bags (page 28). 2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage; refer to Inspecting the Bagger (page 28). 3. Ensure that the grass bags are empty and thoroughly dry. 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.
Troubleshooting Problem There is abnormal vibration. Reduced bagging performance The blower and tubes plug too frequently. Possible Cause 1. The cutting blade(s) are bent or unbalanced. 1. Install new cutting blade(s). 2. The blade-mounting bolt is loose. 3. There is a loose blower pulley or pulley assembly. 4. The bagger belt is worn. 5. The blower fan blade(s) are bent or unbalanced. 2. Tighten the blade-mounting bolt. 3. Tighten the appropriate pulley. 1. The engine speed is too low. 1.
