Removing the Bagger

CAUTION
Failing to remove the front bagger weights
and operating the machine without the bagger
attachment may cause an unstable condition
which could result in a loss of control.
• Always remove the front weights when
removing the bagger attachment.
• Never operate the machine without the
bagger attachment and the front weights
still installed.
You can remove the bagger by repeating the Setup
sections from all installed bagger related kits in
reverse order. If weights are installed, always remove
the front bagger weights when removing the bagger
attachments.
Note:
It is only necessary to remove the cutoff baffle
when installing a mulching kit.
