Assemble Mounting Brackets
To assemble the bagger mounting assembly, locate the hitch bracket kit and follow
these steps:
1. Attach the two hitch side brackets to the universal rear attachment bracket using
two carriage bolts (710-0276) and wing knobs (720-04122) from hardware pack
689-00312. See Figure 3.
Note: The hooks on the side brackets should point downwards and the tabs
on the rear plate point upwards as shown in Figure 3.
2. Flip over assembly and mount the hitch support bracket to the mounting
assembly using one carriage bolt (710-0276) and wing knob (720-04122) per
side from hardware pack 689-00312.
IMPORTANT: Mount the hitch support using the hole indicated in Figure 4.
Note: It might be easier during the mounting stage to leave this hardware
only finger tight to facilitate lining up the hitch hole for the clevis pin. You
will be instructed to tighten this hardware later in this manual.
