BAGGING
Bagging should be considered for areas where you want the lawn to be clear of loose particles, such
as around swimming pools, and for less frequently mowed areas, where grass has grown too tall to
mulch easily.
For bagging, you must remove the mower deck cover plate and swirl guide B, then install the bagging
kit. It is not necessary to remove or replace other parts of the mulching kit, but a high-lift blade can be
installed to increase bagging performance if desired.
Objects thrown by the blades can cause serious
injury. Disengage the Power Take Off (PTO) and
shut off the engine, before removing and installing
parts.
Before operating the riding mower, be sure the
mower deck cover plate or the bagging kit is
properly installed.
