READ THE MANUAL The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation. Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the most out of your equipment investment. Failure to obey the safety rules could result in loss of control of the unit, sever personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment.
GENERAL WARNINGS • Know the unit’s controls and how to stop quickly. READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUALS. • Read and obey all safety decals. • Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the unit. • Disengage the PTO. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any part of the collection system.
Mowing with the Catcher Always operate with throttle at full speed when mowing. Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass is too long or lush it may be necessary to keep ground speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width of the mower to prevent clogging.
