Important Safe Operation Practices

2

WARNING! This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed, could endanger the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury.

When you see this symbol. HEED ITS WARNING!

DANGER! This attachment was built to be used according to the safe operation practices in this manual. Carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury.

Mowers are capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions as well as the instructions provided with your mower, could result in serious injury or death.

General Operation

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Read, understand, and follow all instructions on your equipment and in their manuals before attempting to assemble and operate. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.

To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet from the mower while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury.

Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.

Do not operate the mower without the discharge cover or entire grass catcher in its proper place. A missing or damaged discharge cover or grass bag attachment component may result in thrown objects or blade contact injuries.

Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s) can amputate hands and feet.

Shut off mower’s engine and wait for blades to come to a complete stop before unclogging mower’s discharge opening or bagger parts.

Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly.

Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed. Be aware that a grass catcher attachment can affect the handling characteristics of your mower.

9.

10.

11.

12.

Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait until the blade(s) come to a complete stop before opening bagger attachment’s top cover, removing grass catcher, emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing any grass or debris, or making any adjustments.

Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting.

Your machine is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more than 10”. Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves.

Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust and/ or build up on the mower deck presenting a potential fire hazard.

If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your customer service representative for assistance.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. Attachments can also affect the stability of the machine. All slopes require extra caution.

For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to estimate the angle of slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 10 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate the mower with the grass bag attachment installed on that area or serious injury could result.

Do:

1.

2.

Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3

3.

4.

5.

6.

Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear when going down slopes to take advantage of engine braking action.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid engagement or braking could cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could cause serious injury.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

Do Not:

1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

2.

3.

4.

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.

5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

General Service

1. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

Never tamper with your mower’s safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs while the mower’s engine is running.

Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace immediately with original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety!

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

NOTE: References to left, right, front and rear of the tractor are from the operator’s position, unless otherwise stated.

•

•

Before assembly, place the tractor on a firm, level surface, disengage the PTO, stop the tractor engine and set the parking brake.

For convenience, pivot the seat forward and leave it in that position until the grass collector is fully mounted and assembled.

Assemble Mounting Brackets

To assemble the bagger mounting assembly, locate the mounting assembly pack and follow these steps:

1. Attach the two hitch side brackets to the universal rear attachment bracket using four hex bolts and flange lock nuts. With the hooks on the hitch side brackets pointing down, the tabs on the hitch plates should be pointing upwards. See Fig. 4-1.

Side View

Figure 4-2

Assembling The Support Assembly

Locate the upright support bracket and the bag support assembly. Assemble it by following these steps:

1. Lay the bag support assembly topside down with the mounting bracket portion facing upwards.

2. Insert the notched end of the vertical support bracket into the bag support assembly, as in Fig. 4-3, and secure with a 5/16-18 carriage bolt and 5/16-18 flange lock nut. See Fig. 4-4.

2.

Figure 4-1

Flip over assembly and mount the hitch support bracket to the mounting assembly using the hardware found in pack

689-00087. See Fig. 4-2.

Note: It might be easier during the mounting stage to leave this hardware only finger tight to facilitate lining up the hitch hole for the clevis pin. You will be instructed to tighten this hardware later in this manual.

Figure 4-3

Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside.

The latter method may be preferred since it can be easier to insert the hairpin clip. Either way will work, the decision should be based on operator preference.

Figure 4-4

Mount Assembly on Tractor

Install mounting assembly on tractor as follows:

1. Place the hooked ends of the mounting assembly over the shoulder bolts, as in Fig. 4-5, on the tractor and line up the hitch support bracket center hole with the hole on the tractor’s hitch.
