DO NOT operate mower unless guards are in place or
boot assembly and entire bagger are attached.
NEVER operate bagger if the unit's safety interlock
system is not working properly.
Always be aware of maximum sweep of bagger when

bagger, personnel and other objects when turning.
As the bagger fills, be alert to changing unit stability and
control.
Always install front bumper before operating unit
with bagger attached.

Owner/Operator Manual before beginning assembly.
Failure to follow instructions could result in personal
injury and/or damage to unit.
ALWAYS remove key and/or wire from spark plug before
assembly. Unintentional engine start up can cause death
or serious injury.
Complete a walk around inspection of unit and work area
to understand:
• Work area • Your unit • All safety decals
Determine which attachments are needed and can be
used safely.
Inspect unit before each use for: missing or damaged
decals and shields, correctly operating safety interlock
system, and deterioration of grass bagger. Replace or

embankments. Unit can suddenly turn over if a wheel is
over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

involved in a larger percentage of riding mower related
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to
operate the riding mower safely enough to protect
