Operating and Bagging Tips

Size
Remember that the mower is longer and wider with
this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in
confined places you may damage the attachment.
Trimming
Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do not
trim with the right side of the mower because you
could damage the chute and duct.
Cutting Height
Do not set the mower cutting height too low because
long grass surrounding the mower can prevent air
from getting under the mower and entering the grass
catcher. If enough air doesn't get under the mower,
the grass catcher will plug.
