Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Important: Set the parking brake when leaving the
machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, follow these procedures:
• Become familiar with all operating and safety
instructions in the operator's manual for your
mower before using this attachment.
• Never remove the bagger or bagger tubes while
the engine is running.
• Always shut the engine off and wait for all
moving parts to stop before clearing an
obstruction from the bagging system.
• Never do maintenance or repairs while the
engine is running.
• Set the parking brake.
WARNING
Without the grass deflector, bagger tubes or
complete collection system mounted in place, you
and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown
debris. Contact with the rotating mower blade(s)
and thrown debris will cause injury or death.
• Always install the grass deflector when removing
the collection system and changing to side
discharge mode.
• If the grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately. The grass deflector routes material
down toward the turf.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to off, rotate the ignition key to off and
remove the key.
• Turn off the engine before unclogging the
discharge chute.
CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the parking
brake when leaving the machine unattended, even
if just for a few minutes.
