Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor

owners manual,

When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time.

TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING OPERATION:

1. Place throttle control at full throttle,

2.

Select a gear 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 your conditions.

3.

If grass is extremely tall, it should be mo wed twice.

The first time relatively high, the second time to desired height.

NOTE: Use L.H. side of mower for trimming,

4.

Plastic lawn bags can be inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease of debris disposal.

CLEAR OBSTRUCTION.

If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the system (See Step I be!ow) or that the grass catcher containers are full (See step 2 below).

1.

Stop tractor and mower and remove clogged grass.

Refer to "Caution" above,
