Maintenance

Never work on the mower deck when the engine is
running.
Clean flammable material from machine. Prevent
fires by keeping the engine compartment, top of
deck, exhaust area, battery, fuel line, fuel tank and
operator's station clean of accumulated trash, grass
clippings, and other debris. Always clean up spilled
fuel and oil.
Inspect the catcher after the initial use of the unit and
every month thereafter.
• Check for damaged or worn parts. Replace or repair all
damaged parts before operating with the catcher
again.
• Check for loose hardware. Tighten any hardware that
is loose.
• Inspect the bungee latches and replace any that are
missing, damaged or beginning to show signs of wear.
• Inspect and replace the bags if any deterioration has
occurred.
Severe injury can occur to the operator and/or
bystanders or property damage may occur as the
result of flying debris or thrown objects due to
damaged bags.
• Check bags for any signs of damage such as
tears, holes, wear or any deterioration.
If a bag is found to be defective in any way,
replace it with a new bag that is supplied by Excel
Industries, Inc.
The outlet tube and transfer tube should be kept clean and
free of any accumulation of matted clippings or other
obstructions.
