These can change the operating characteristics and the stability of the machine. • Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for adding or removing wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability. • Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes. A heavy grass catcher could cause loss of control or overturn the machine. • Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Be sure to travel in the recommended direction on hillsides. Turf conditions can affect the machine's stability. Use extreme caution while operating near drop-offs. • Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed, directions or turning. • The grass catcher can obstruct the view to the rear. Use extra care when operating in reverse. • Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck. • Never operate with the discharge deflector raised, removed or altered, unless using a grass catcher. • Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. Do not make adjustments with the engine running. • Stop on level ground, disengage drives, chock or block wheels, shut off engine before leaving the operator's position for any reason including emptying the grass catcher or unclogging the chute. • If you remove the grass catcher, be sure to install any discharge deflector or guard that might have been removed to install the grass catcher. Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or the grass deflector in place. • Stop the engine before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the chute. • Use a stick, not your hands, to remove an obstruction from the blower tube. • Do not leave grass in grass catcher for extended periods of time. • Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary. 3 Safety and Instructional Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger.

Checking the Tire Pressure Important: Set the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes. No Parts Required WARNING Procedure To avoid personal injury, follow these procedures: Note: Increase the tire pressure due to the additional weight. • Become familiar with all operating and safety instructions in the operator's manual for your mower before using this attachment. Check and increase the air pressure in the front caster wheels and rear tires (Figure 37). • Never remove the bagger or bagger tubes while the engine is running. Pressure in the rear tires: 138 kPa (20 psi) Pressure in the front caster wheels: 172 kPa (25 psi) • Always shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to stop before clearing an obstruction from the bagging system. • Never do maintenance or repairs while the engine is running. • Set the parking brake. WARNING Without the grass deflector, bagger tubes, or a complete bagger assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. Contact with the rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or death. Figure 37 • Always install the grass deflector when removing the bagger and changing to side-discharge mode. • If the grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it immediately. The grass deflector routes material down toward the turf. • Never put your hands or feet under the mower. • Never try to clear the discharge area or mower blades unless you move the power takeoff (PTO) to Off and rotate the ignition key to off. Also remove the key and disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s). • Turn off the engine before unclogging the discharge chute. 25 Clearing Obstructions from the Bagger System CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is unattended. WARNING When the bagger is in operation, the blower can be rotating and cut off or injure hands. • Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and inspecting the blower, and before unclogging the chute, turn off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove the key. • Use a stick, not your hands, to remove an obstruction from the blower and tube. • Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of your body or clothing away from concealed, moving, or rotating parts. Always remove the ignition key and set the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes. Emptying the Grass Bags Grass bags are heavy when full. Be careful when lifting or handling a grass bag that is full. 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and chock or block the tires if the machine is on a slope. 2. Unlatch the bagger latch. 3. Open the bagger hood. 1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake. 2. Turn off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 3. Empty the bags. 4. Unlatch the lower tube. 5. Remove the tubes from the bagger. 6. Use a stick or similar object, not your hands, to remove and clear the obstruction from the tube assembly. 4. Compress the debris into the bags. 5. Use both hands to lift up on the bag and unhook it from the bagger bracket. 6. Grab the handle on the bottom of the bag and tip it over to empty the bag (Figure 38). Note: In most cases, you can shake the debris out of the tubes. 7. If the blower assembly is plugged, unlatch the bagger blower assembly, remove the belt, and swing it open. 8. Use a stick or similar object, not your hands, to remove and clear the obstruction from the blower assembly. 9. After you remove the obstruction, install the complete bagger system and resume operation. Removing the Bagger WARNING Components around engine will be hot if the machine has been running. Touching hot components can cause burns. • Do not touch engine components when hot. • Allow engine to cool before removing the bagger. Figure 38 1. Bag 2. Bottom handle 7. Repeat step 5 and step 6 the other bag. 8. Install the bag tab of each bag into the notch in the bagger support frame. 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and chock or block the tires. 2. Turn off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 3. Unlatch the lower tube from the blower and remove the tube from the blower assembly. 9. Lower the bagger hood over the bags. 10. Latch the bagger hood. 26 4. Remove the tube from the bagger hood. Operating Tips 5. Lower the mower deck to the lowest height-of-cut position. Machine Size 6. Remove the knob and the belt cover over the mower pulley assembly. Remember that the machine is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places you may damage the attachment or other property. 7. Remove the bagger belt from the mower pulley assembly. Trimming 8. Open the blower assembly. Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do not trim with the right side of the mower because you could damage the bagging tubes. 9. Remove the blower assembly from the pivot hole. 10. If you are changing to side-discharge mode, ensure that the grass deflector is installed and can be lowered into working position. Cutting Height 11. Remove the hood and bag assembly. For optimum bagging performance, set the deck height-of-cut to remove no more that 51 to 76 mm (2 to 3 inches) or 1/3 of the grass height, whichever is less. Cutting off more than this will reduce the capacity of the vacuum system. Using the Grass Deflector DANGER Cutting Frequency Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or death. Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly. You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets excessively long (refer to Bagging Long Grass). Cutting Technique For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap the mower into the previously cut area. This helps reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance of plugging the blower assembly and tubes. • Always install the grass deflector when removing the bagger and changing to side-discharge mode. • If the grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it immediately. The grass deflector routes material down toward the turf. Bagging Speed The bagging system may plug if you drive too fast and the engine speed gets too slow. On hills, it may be necessary to slow the ground speed of the machine. Mow downhill whenever possible. • Never put your hands or feet under the mower. • Never try to clear the discharge area or mower blades unless you move the power take off (PTO) to the Off position, rotate the ignition key to Off and remove the key. CAUTION Transporting the machine with grass or debris in the bagger can damage the machine. As the bagger fills, extra weight is added to the back of the machine. If you stop and start suddenly on hills, you may lose steering control or the machine may tip. • Do not start or stop suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Avoid uphill starts. • If you do stop the machine when going uphill, disengage the PTO. Then back down the hill using a slow speed. • Do not change speeds or stop on slopes. Do not leave grass or debris in the bagger while transporting the machine. Bagging Long Grass Transporting Machines Do not leave grass or debris in the bagger while transporting the machine. DANGER If the grass is allowed to grow longer than normal, or if it contains a high degree of moisture, raise the cutting height higher than usual and cut and bag the grass at this setting. 27 Then cut and bag the grass again using the lower, normal setting. Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled completely into the bagger. If this happens, the tube and blower may plug. To avoid plugging the bagging system, mow the grass at a high height-of-cut, then lower the mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process. Bagging Wet Grass If possible, always try to cut grass when it is dry. Wet grass can cause plugging. Reducing Plugging To avoid plugging the bagging system, reduce ground speed and mow the grass at a high height-of-cut, then lower the mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process. Signs of Plugging As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings normally blow out the front of the mower. An excessive amount of clipping blow-out indicates that the bagger is full or the tube is plugged. Bagging Blades For most mowing conditions, the standard high lift blades will provide the best bagging performance. The Toro Atomic blade is recommended for bagging leaves in dry conditions. In dry dusty conditions, the medium lift or low lift blades will reduce dust and dirt blowout while providing effective bagging air flow. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the proper blades for different mowing conditions. Curb Climbing and Loading Always lift the deck to the highest position when loading the machine on trailers or ascending/descending a curb. Leaving the mower in a lower position can damage the machine while loading and going over a curb. If a curb is higher than 152 mm (6 inches), cross it at a sharp angle with the deck fully raised. Use extreme caution when loading the machine onto a trailer. 28 Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Inspect the blower belt. • Inspect the bagger.
