SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
•
•
•
•
•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Look for this symbol to point out
important safety precautions. It means
CAUTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR
SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades
off.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.Always
look down and behind before and while backing.
Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandunderthewatchful
care of another responsible adult.
CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill
in neutral, you may lose control of
the tractor.
•
•
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
Watchforholes,ruts,orbumps.Uneventerraincouldoverturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
CAUTION:Towonlytheattachments
that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of
the manufacturer of your tractor.
Use common sense when towing.
Operate only at the lowest possible
speed when on a slope. Too heavy
of a load, while on a slope, is
dangerous. Tires can lose traction
with the ground and cause you to
lose control of your tractor.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift
into reverse and back down slowly.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
CAUTION: In order to prevent
accidental starting when setting
up,transporting,adjustingormaking
repairs, always disconnect spark
plug wire and place wire where it
cannot contact spark plug.

Compare the illustrations with the carton contents to familiarize yourself with the parts before starting the assembly. Study
the operating instructions and safety precautions thoroughly to insure proper functioning of your Grass Catcher and to
prevent injury to yourself and others. Save this manual for future reference.
The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tractor and

OPERATION
•
Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew
TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING
OPERATION:
is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these
conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of
the flow path causing clogging.
Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor
owner's manual.
•
Your bagger is equipped with a dump bag indicator.As
the bags become full, the flow indicating ball will drop
down in its slot, indicating that the bags are full or the
chutes have become clogged. Care should be taken
not to damage the parts and that the ball moves freely
at the beginning of each use.
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. The amount collected and the total time
of operation may be greater than you will experience with
regular use of your grass catcher.
NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes, check/empty
bags when ball begins to drop down in the slot.Experience
will teach you the best time to empty the bags.
•
•
Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.
Select a gear low enough to give good mower cutting
performance, good quality cut and good bagging
performance.
•
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, shift into neutral, engage the
parking brake and stop the engine.
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit
your conditions.
- Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.
- Slide out containers and dispose of clippings .
- Replace containers, close cover, and latch.
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging
- Remove all debris in chutes.
•
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice.The
first time relatively high, the second time to desired
height.
•
•
Use left hand side of mower for trimming.
Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher
containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the
plastic trash bags when full:
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the
parking brake and stop the engine.
- Reassemble and latch chutes
c. Checktoinsuredumpbagindicatorhasnotbecome
clogged.
b. Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.
- The air passage hole must be clear of debris.
Gentlyinsertasmalltwigorwireintopassageway
to clear.
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 secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.
CAUTION
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. Repeat for other containers.
h. Reinstall containers making sure right container
overlaps left container at center supports.
• Do not operate mower with grass catcher
partially installed.
• Disengage blades and stop engine before
leaving tractor seat to empty containers,
unclogging chutes, etc.
• Close cover before starting.
j. Closecoverandsecurelatchesovercentersupport

• Disengage mower when crossing driveways
or gravel surfaces and other areas where
thrown objects could be a hazard.
• Do not attempt to vacuum up cans or other
potentially hazardous projectiles.
