Bagger Usage

1. While mowing, periodically stop and check the viewing window on top of the grass
catcher cover. See Figure 25.
NOTE: To ensure longevity and reliable performance do not allow grass bags to fill over the
edge of the rim before emptying.
NOTE: When both grass bags are full, place the tractor on a firm, level surface, disengage
the PTO, turn the tractor engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Open the grass catcher cover by pushing in on the rear, right-side tab and rear left-
side tab, as seen in Figure 26, and lifting the cover from the rear of the bagger cover.
Do not remove the hose assembly from the tractor.
3. Remove the grass bags by lifting these up (1) in Figure 27 and moving the bags away
from the bag support assembly (2).
4. Empty the grass clippings at a proper disposal site, use the handle at the bottom of
each grass bag. Holding the bag firmly, empty the contents.
5. Open the grass catcher as described in step 3, and secure the grass bags back into
place in the same orientation in which they were removed. Close the lid and restart
your tractor. Resume cutting as needed.
Retighten all wing knobs periodically throughout the season.
