CAUTION
As the bagger fills, extra weight is added to the back
of the machine. If you stop and start suddenly on
hills, you may lose steering control or the machine
may tip.
• Do not start or stop suddenly when going uphill
or downhill. Avoid uphill starts.
• If you do stop the machine when going uphill,
disengage the blade control. Then back down
the hill using a slow speed.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes on
slopes.
• Never operate the machine without the bagger
attachment and the front weights still installed.
Bagging Long Grass
Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled
completely into the grass bags. If this happens, the discharge
tube and chute may plug. To avoid plugging the bagging
system, mow the grass at a high height of cut, then lower the
mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging
process.
Bagging Wet Grass
Always try to cut grass when it is dry because your lawn will
have a neat appearance. If you must cut wet grass, use the
conventional side discharge feature of the mower. Several
hours later, when the clippings are dry, install the complete
bagger attachment and vacuum up the grass clippings.
Signs of Plugging
As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings
normally blow out the front of the mower. An excessive
amount of clippings blowing out indicates that the bags are
full or the system is plugged.
