Maintenance Instructions
1. Position the discharge chute so that it is pointing
straight back.
a. Turn the ignition switch ON and move the
blade clutch to the ENGAGED position
(engine not running).
b. Open the catcher back door and monitor
the spout position (as it oscillates) and
move the blade clutch to the DISENGAGED
position and turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position.
DO NOT test the Grass-Pak
the engine running. Projectiles CAN be
thrown out of the grass delivery spout
and CAN cause serious injury to bystand-
ers or property damage.
2. Measure from the exhaust screen (top of catch-
er) to the top of the Grass-Pak
vane, refer to Adjusting the Grass-Pak
Switch illustration. The proper measurement
should be between 4 and 4-1/2 in. (10.16 and
11.43 cm).

3. If adjustment is required, hold the Grass-Pak
switch mount bracket firmly, grasp the switch
and bracket and bend it down. Adjustments
should be done in very small increments check-
ing the measurement each time until the recom-
mended measurement is achieved. This mea-
surement is applicable to all catcher box sizes.
NOTE: It will not be possible to adjust the switch to
give a signal at the precise instant the catcher is full
for a wide variety of mowing conditions. For exam-
ple, wet heavy grass will fill the catcher differently
than dry fluffy grass, causing the signal to come on
a little sooner or later than usual. Primarily, the
switch should be adjusted to give the "full" signal
with a little advance warning before overfilling
and clogging of the grass delivery chute begins (re-
gardless of mowing conditions).
