The operator is responsible for safe operation   on slopes.   Figure 3   DANGER   1. Safe Zone-Use the mower here on slopes less than 15   degrees   Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can   cause sliding and loss of control. Wheels   dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks, or   water can cause rollovers, which may result   in serious injury, death or drowning.   2. Danger Zone–Use walk behind mower and/or hand   trimmer on slopes greater than 15 degrees, near   drop-offs and water.   3. Water   • Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree   limbs, etc. from the mowing area. Tall grass can   hide obstacles.   • Do Not mow slopes when grass is wet.   • Do Not mow near drop-offs or near water.   • Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips and rises that   change the operating angle, as rough terrain could   overturn the machine.   • Do Not mow slopes greater than 15   degrees.   • Reduce speed and use extreme caution   on slopes.   • Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because   the mower may tip backwards.   • Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed   changes.   • Be aware that operating on wet grass, across steep   slopes or downhill may cause the mower to lose   traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may   result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering.   • See inside the back cover to determine the   approximate slope angle of the area to be mowed.   • Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a   slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades   and proceed slowly off the slope.   • Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer   near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water.   • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for   wheel weights or counter weights to improve   stability. Always install and remove the Bagger,   including counter weights, as instructed. Failure   to do so will cause a reduction in stability or   traction. Do Not operate the mower with only a   portion of the Bagger installed.   • Use extreme care with grass catchers or   attachments. These can change the stability of the   machine and cause loss of control. The stability   and traction of the machine will change as the   Bagger fills with grass clippings. Use progressively   greater care on slopes as the Bagger fills.   6 Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

If enough air doesn’t get under the   mower, the bagging system will plug.   The front weight installed without the bagger   may cause loss of traction and steering   control or an unstable condition which could   result in injury or death.   Install the front weight only when the bagger   is installed.   Cutting Frequency   Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly.   You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets   excessively long.   Note: The removable weight is heavy. Use care   when lifting it. Make sure that you can hold   it securely before lifting it. Use caution when   positioning your hands so that you Do Not set it   down on your hands or fingers.   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 chute and discharge tube.   11. Install the bagger blades. Refer to the mower   operator’s manual for blade installation.   Note: Original equipment blades can be used;   however high lift blades are recommended for   best performance.   Using Bag Liners   Although not required, bag liners may be inserted   into each grass bag to collect clippings and make   liner, remove the filled grass bag and close the top of   the liner. Then pull the liner out of the grass bag or   turn the bag upside down while holding the handle   on the bottom of the grass bag, allowing the liner to   slide out.   WARNING   Incorrect installation of the blade or   components used to retain the blade cause   the blade to come loose and could seriously   injure or kill you or bystanders.   Always install the original Exmark blades,   washers and blade bolts as shown in the   mower Operator’s manual.   Operating Tips   Larger Machine with Bagger   Remember that the mower is longer and wider with   this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in   confined places you may damage the attachment.   Maintenance   Figure 9   For best cut quality, be sure to check the deck leveling   and blade slope (rake). See the tractor Operator’s   manual.   1. Cloth grass bag   2. Bag liner   Bagging Speed   Trimming   Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do Not   trim with the right side of the mower because you   could damage the bagger’s chute and discharge tube.   Most often you will bag with the mower throttle in   the Fast position and drive at a normal ground speed.   However, in extremely dry and dusty grass, you may   13   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   Operation   want to slightly reduce the throttle speed and increase   the ground speed of the mower. 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   mower ground speed. This helps maintain the engine   speed and bagging efficiency.   Transporting   Transporting a Unit   Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the   machine. Lock brake and block wheels. Securely   fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with straps,   chains, cable, or ropes. Be sure that the trailer or truck   has all necessary lighting and marking as required by   law. Secure a trailer with a safety chain.   CAUTION   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.   CAUTION   This unit does not have proper turn   • Do Not start or stop suddenly when going   uphill or downhill. Avoid uphill starts.   signals, lights, reflective markings, or a   slow moving vehicle emblem. Driving on a   street or roadway without such equipment   is dangerous and can lead to accidents   causing personal injury. Driving on a street   or roadway without such equipment may also   be a violation of State laws and the operator   may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.   • If you do stop the machine when going   uphill, disengage the blade control   switch. Then back down the hill using a   slow speed.   • Do Not change speeds or stop on slopes.   Do Not drive a unit on a public street or   roadway.   Bagging Long Grass   Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be   propelled completely into the grass bags. If this   happens, the discharge tube and chute 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   Always try to cut grass when it is dry because your   lawn will have a neat appearance. If you must cut wet   grass, use the conventional side discharge feature of   the mower. Several hours later, when the clippings   are dry, install the complete bagger attachment and   vacuum up the grass clippings.   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 clippings blowing out indicates   that the bags are full or the system is plugged.   14   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Use extreme caution when   loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width   ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear   tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for   each side of the unit. The lower rear section of the   tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels   and serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having   a full width ramp provides a surface for the frame   members to contact if the unit starts to tip backward.   If it is not possible to use one full width ramp, use   enough individual ramps to simulate a full width   continuous ramp.   Ramp should be long enough so that the angles   between the ramp and the ground and the ramp and   the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper angle   may cause mower deck components to get caught as   the unit moves from ramp to trailer or truck. Steeper   angles may also cause the unit to tip backward. If   loading on or near a slope, position the trailer or   truck so it is on the down side of the slope and the   ramp extends up the slope.
