Operation

Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Important:
Set the parking brake when you leave
the machine, even if just for a few minutes.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, follow these
procedures:
• Become familiar with all operating and
safety instructions in the Operator's
Manual for your machine before using this
attachment.
• Never remove the bagger or bagger tubes
while the engine is running.
• Always shut the engine off and wait for all
moving parts to stop before clearing an
obstruction from the bagging system.
• Never do maintenance or repairs while the
engine is running.
• Set the parking brake.
WARNING
Without the grass deflector, bagger tubes or
complete collection system mounted in place,
you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with the rotating
mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause
injury or death.
• Always install the grass deflector when
you remove the collection system and
change to side-discharge mode.
• If the grass deflector is ever damaged,
replace it immediately. The grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf.
• Never put your hands or feet under the
mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or
mower blades unless you move the power
take off (PTO) to off and rotate the ignition
key to off. Also remove the key and pull
the wire off the spark plug(s).
• Turn off the engine before unclogging the
discharge chute.
• Never use your hands to unclog the
discharge chute, use a stick or similar
object.
CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while
it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
