Tips And Troubleshooting; Changing Blades - Exmark Quest Bagger Operator's Manual

Tips and Troubleshooting

1. When the bags get full, there will be
slight blowout from the front right corner
of the deck. Emptying the bags at this
point will minimize the potential for the
tube to plug.
2. If there is excessive blowout from the
deck, check to make sure that the rear
screen in the hood is clear of grass build
up. It is recommended that the screen
and mesh portions of the bags be
cleaned regularly to maintain proper air
flow. This is especially important in wet
conditions.
3. During dry conditions check engine air
cleaners and clean cooling fins more
frequently. The bagger has been
designed to minimize the impact of dust
and debris on the mower, but bagging
can be a dirty environment.
4. During dry conditions, switching to a
lower lift blade may reduce blowout
without hurting quality of cut.
5. Maintaining a ground speed that does not
pull down the engine RPM will allow for
the highest productivity and best quality
of cut. Bogging the engine RPM down by
going too fast will cause plugging and
quality of cut issues.
6. When storing the bagger, it is
recommended that any grass build up in
the tubes be cleaned out.
