3.0 GRASS CATCHER
3. Loosely assemble catcher mounts [9] and [8] to the
left front pivot assembly using new hardware sup-
plied (3, 4 and 5). Refer to Figure 2 for orientation
and make certain you have the correct components.
a. The catcher mounts must be assembled to the
outside of the mounting brackets as illustrated.
b. Catcher mount [9] is mounted on the left side
and mount [8] is mounted on the right side of
the left front pivot assembly.
c. Slide the grass catcher (1) onto the catcher
mounts and adjust the mounts so that both
sides of the catcher rest firmly against the lower
portion of the catcher mount (Figure 5)
d. It may become necessary to loosen one side to
readjust the other until both sides are properly
adjusted.
e. When properly adjusted, both sides of the
catcher should rest equally against the mounts
and the catcher handle should be parallel with
the ground.
4. Assemble and adjust catcher mounts [0] and [1] to
the right front pivot assembly in the same manner as
mounts [9] and [8] Figure 3.

1.3 ASSEMBLY, REAR _________________________________________________________
1. Unlike the two front mowers, the existing shields
remain in place on the rear mower.
a. To assemble and adjust the rear catcher, the
cutting height must be set at 1.00”
b. Refer to your operator’s manual to set the cutting
height.
2. Loosely assemble the catcher mounts [7] and [6] to
the outside of the mounting brackets with the
hardware supplied. Figure 4.
Mount [7] is assembled to the left mounting bracket
and mount [6] is assembled to the right mounting
bracket of the rear pivot assembly.
3. Once again, adjust the mounting brackets as
previously described in steps 3c through 3e for front
catchers.
After the catcher is properly adjusted, reset the
cutting height to its original position.
4. Lower mower lifting height to prevent catcher from
contacting sheet metal shielding.
Disconnect rear lift cable assembly from lift crank and
turn ball joint out until catcher misses sheet metal.
See mower manual.
