Tips For Improved Bagging
Follow the mower operation instructions in the
Owner's Manual.
When using the grass catcher on a lawn where
grass and leaf bagging equipment has not
been used previously, thatch and debris that
has accumulated for long periods of time is
picked up. The amount collected and the total
time of operation may be greater than will
be experienced with regular use of the grass
catcher.
•
Run the throttle at full speed when bagging.
•
Select a ground speed low enough to give
good mower cutting performance, good
quality cut and good bagging performance.
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width
of cut to suit conditions.
•
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed
twice. The first cut should be at one of the
highest settings, the second time to desired
height.
•
Use the left hand side of mower for trimming.
•
Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning
while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings
collected under these conditions tend to be
sticky and adhere to the walls of the flow
path causing clogging.
•
The bagger is equipped with a full bagger
indicator. Movement of the wheel increases
as the bags fill. The wheel will be spinning
fastest just before the bags fill completely.
When the wheel stops, it indicates that the
bags are full and the chutes have become
clogged.
NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes,
check/empty bags when the wheel is
spinning fast. Experience will teach you the
best time to empty the bags. Care should be
taken not to damage the parts and that the
wheel spins freely at the beginning of each
use.
If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass
or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has
occurred in the system or that the grass catcher
containers are full.
a. Disengage blades, place motion control
levers in neutral position.
- Unlatch and raise cover
- Slide containers out, discard clippings
- Replace containers, close and latch cover
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.
- Remove debris in chute.
- Reassemble and latch chutes
c. Check to insure full bagger indicator is not
clogged.
-
The air passage hole must be clear of
debris. Gently insert a small twig or wire
into the passage way to clear.
Plastic trash bags (3.0 mil, 30 gallon) can be
inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease
of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash
bags when full:
a. Disengage the blades, shift into neutral,
engage the park brake and stop the engine.
b. Raise the seat, unlatch and raise the cover.
c. Remove one container at a time by
grasping container handles and pulling
toward the rear, off of the tube rails.
d. With the container resting on the ground,
close and tie the top of the plastic lawn bag.
e. Tip the container on its side and slide the
filled bag from the container.
f. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the
edges of the bag draped over upper lip of
the container.
g. Reinstall containers making sure right
container overlaps left container at center
supports.
h. Close the cover and latch it over center
support tubes.
