•
Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew
is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these
conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the
flow path causing clogging.
•
Your bagger is equipped with a dump bag indicator. As the
bags become full, the flow indicating ball will drop down
in its slot, indicating that the bags are full or the chutes
have become clogged. Care should be taken not to
damage the parts and that the ball moves freely at the
beginning of each use.
•
If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves,
it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the system
or that the grass catcher containers are full.
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the
parking brake and stop the engine.
- Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.
- Slide out containers and dispose of clippings .
- Replace containers, close cover, and latch.
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging
- Remove all debris in chutes.
- Reassemble and latch chutes
c. Check to insure dump bag indicator has not become
clogged.
