Install the Discharge Chute
W ithout the g rass deflector , discharge
co v er , or complete g rass catcher assembl y
mounted in place, y ou and other s ar e
exposed to blade contact and thr o wn de bris.
Contact with the r otating mo w er blade(s)
and thr o wn de bris will cause injur y or death.
• Nev er r emo v e the g rass deflector fr om
the mo w er because the g rass deflector
r outes material do wn to w ard the turf.
If the g rass deflector is ev er dama ged,
r eplace it immediatel y .
• Nev er put y our hands or feet under the
mo w er .
• Nev er tr y to clear the discharge ar ea or

3. Align the disc harg e c hute with the holes in the
brac k ets and the spring and spacer in the space
betw een the brac k ets and abo v e the deflector
( Figure 33 ).
4. Place the spring and spacer so that the hook ed
ends of the spring are pointing do wn, with one
end contacting on the mo w er dec k and the
other o v er the deflector ( Figure 33 ).
5. Secure the deflector to the mo w er brac k et
with the bolt. T he bolt should pass through
the g rass deflector , spring, spacer , and
brac k ets . Secure the assembly with the loc kn ut
( Figure 33 ).
Note: It ma y be helpful to press do wn near
the end of the bolt with a 9/16 inc h open end
wrenc h to align the bolt with the second hole
on the mo w er brac k et and g rass deflector .
6. Lift the disc harg e c hute and c hec k that it is
spring loaded and pi v ots freely to the full do wn
position.
Important: T he discharge chute must
be spring loaded in the do wn position. Lift
the deflector up to test that it snaps to the
full do wn position.
Replacing the Leveling Brackets
1. R e place the tw o , left side mo w er lev eling
brac k ets (hole) with tw o slotted lev eling
brac k ets ( Figure 34 ). Secure them with the
existing w ashers and hair pin cotters .
Note: Sa v e the (hole) lev eling brac k et for use
when the blo w er is installed.

Operating Tips
Tips for Bagging
Size
R emember that the mo w er is long er and wider
with this attac hment installed. By tur ning too
shar ply in confined places y ou ma y damag e the
attac hment.
Trimming
Alw a ys trim with the left side of the mo w er . Do
not trim with the right side of the mo w er because
y ou could damag e the bag g er’ s c hute and disc harg e
tube .
Cutting Height
Do not set the mo w er cutting height too lo w
because long g rass sur rounding the mo w er can
prev ent air from g etting under the mo w er and
entering the bag ging system. If enough air doesn ’ t
g et under the mo w er , the bag ging system will plug .
19
Cutting Frequency
Cut the g rass often, especially when it g ro ws
rapidly . Y ou will ha v e to cut y our g rass twice if
it g ets ex cessi v ely long .
Cutting Technique
F or best la wn appearance , be sure to slightly
o v erlap the mo w er into the previously cut area.
T his helps reduce the load on the engine and
reduces the c hance of plug ging the c hute and
disc harg e tube .
Using Bag Liners
Although not required, bags ma y be inser ted
into eac h g rass bag to collect clippings and mak e
disposal more con v enient ( Figure 35 ). If y ou use a
bag liner , remo v e the filled g rass bag and close the
top of the liner . T hen pull the liner out the g rass
bag or tur n the bag upside do wn while holding the
handle on the bottom of the g rass bag, allo wing
the liner to slide out.
Figure 35

2. Bag (liner)
Bagging Speed
Most often y ou will bag with the mo w er throttle
in the F ast position and dri v e at a nor mal g round
speed. Ho w ev er , in extremely dr y and dusty g rass ,
y ou ma y w ant to slightly reduce the throttle speed
and increase the g round speed of the mo w er . T he
bag ging system ma y plug if y ou dri v e too fast and
the engine speed g ets too slo w . On hills it ma y
be necessar y to slo w the mo w er g round speed.
T his helps maintain the engine speed and bag ging
efficiency . Mo w do wnhill whenev er possible .
As the ba g ger fills, extra w eight is added to
the back of the machine. If y ou stop and
star t suddenl y on hills, y ou may lose steering
contr ol or the machine may tip .
• Do not star t or stop suddenl y when going
uphill or do wnhill. A v oid uphill star ts.
• If y ou do stop the machine when going
uphill, disenga ge the blade contr ol
s witch. T hen back do wn the hill using a
slo w speed.
• Do not change speeds or stop on slopes.
Bagging Long Grass
Bag ging Long Grass Ex cessi v ely long g rass is
hea vy and ma y not be propelled completely into
the g rass bags . If this happens , the disc harg e tube
and c hute ma y plug . T o a v oid plug ging the bag ging
system, mo w the g rass at a high height of cut, then
lo w er the mo w er to y our nor mal cutting height
and re peat the bag ging process .
Bagging Wet Grass
Alw a ys tr y to cut g rass when it is dr y because y our
la wn will ha v e a neat appearance . If y ou m ust
cut w et g rass , use the con v entional side disc harg e
feature of the mo w er . Sev eral hours later , when
the clippings are dr y , install the complete bag g er
attac hment and v acuum up the g rass clippings .
Signs of Plugging
As y ou are bag ging, a small amount of g rass
clippings nor mally blo w out the front of the
mo w er . An ex cessi v e amount of clippings blo wing
out indicates that the bags are full or the system
is plug g ed.
