Clearing Obstructions From
the Collector
1. Empty the collector.
2. Disengage the quiet collector PTO control (Fig. 20).
3. Disengage the mower PTO and set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
5. Remove the upper tube and middle tube from the
collector.
6. Using a stick or similar object, carefully remove and
clear the obstruction from the mower, upper tube,
middle tube, or boot assembly.
7. After you remove the obstruction, install the complete
collector system and resume operation. Refer to
Installing the Discharge Tube on page 10.

A. Raise the gauge arm frequently (Fig. 21). If you feel
resistance, it indicates the collector is full and needs
to be emptied.
B. If grass is seen building up in the slots, on top of the
boot (Fig. 14), the collector is full and needs to be
emptied. This can also mean that you are mowing
too fast and the boot is beginning to plug.

Operating and Bagging Tips
Size
Remember that the tractor 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 collector's blower and discharge tube.
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 bagging system. If
enough air doesn't get under the mower, the bagging
system will plug.
Cutting Frequency
Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly. You
will have to cut your grass twice if it gets excessively long
(refer to Bagging Long Grass, page 14).
