Exmark QUEST BAGGER Setup Instructions page 5

Note: If your mower does not have mounting holes
on the foot rest, position the back of the weight
support assembly on the cross bar under the foot
rest. Center the weight support assembly and mark
the two mounting holes on the lip of the foot rest.
Drill holes using a 13/32 inch drill bit. Install weight
support assembly as stated in step 1.
2. The lock rod (item 4) has a key on one end. Slide the
lock rod through the weight support assembly, notch
in the weight and the oval hole in the frame bracket.
3. Rotate the lock rod to secure it into place.
Note: The weight support assembly can stay mounted
to the unit when the bagger and weight are removed.
Installing the Hitch Bracket
1. Remove the two 3/8-16 inch carriage bolts at the
rear of each frame rail. Retain for reuse if the bagger
is removed.
2. Install the two 3/8-16 x 5 inch carriage bolts (item
10) through the holes on the frame as shown in
Figure 5. Place two stiffeners (item 9) on the top
and bottom of the bagger tube (item 12) and install
on carriage bolts. Fasten with two nyloc nuts (item
6); leave loose to aid installation. Repeat procedure
for other side.
3. Align the holes in the bagger tube (item 12) with the
bagger hitch (item 13). Fasten with hardware and
stiffener as shown in Figure 5; leave loose to aid in
installation.
4. Tighten all hardware.

Installing the Hood and Bags
Operating the mower with the bagger installed
and the front weight removed may cause loss
of traction and steering control or an unstable
condition which could result in injury or death.
Install the bagger only when the front weight
is installed.
1. Install the bagger mount assembly (item 21) onto
to the hood assembly (item 1) using two 1/4-20 x
3/4 inch screws (item 17) and nyloc nuts (item 16) as
shown in Figure 6.
2. Install the mount assembly onto the hitch (item 13).
If you remove the spring-loaded hood when it
is closed (in the down position), the hood may
suddenly fly open and you or someone else may
be bruised, pinched, or injured in another way.
Always open (raise) the hood before you remove
or install it on the quick-attach bracket.
3. Install the bags (item 15) by sliding the bag frame
hooks onto the retaining brackets (see Figure 7).
