TO ADJUST HANGER BRACKETS
The tractor comes from the factory with the bagger pivot bracket
preset in a fixed position. If necessary, this position can be adjusted
to maintain a consistent gap (A) between the fender and the bag-
ger assembly top. An ideal gap is approximately 0.2" (5.1mm).
NOTE: As desired, the hanger bracket on either side can be
adjusted in this manner.
• Remove bagger assembly.
NOTE: ADJUST ONLY ONE SIDE AT A TIME.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
• Loosen nuts on carriage bolts (1) to allow the adjustment plate
(2) to slide up or down. Move as needed. Retighten nuts
securely, locking the adjustment plate in its new position.
