OPERATION

USING THE BAGGING KIT
See Figure 21.
WARNING:
Added accessories can affect the stability of the mower
when operating on slopes. Use additional care when
mowing on slopes with the bagging kit installed.
WARNING:
Be especially careful before and when backing with the
bagging kit installed, as it may limit visibility. Always look
closely behind and down for small children, bystanders,
and pets and move the mower slowly to prevent back
over accidents that can cause death or serious personal
injury.
 Install bagging kit as previously described.
 Mow as desired, keeping aware of the status of the bag
full indicator. When the red ball in the indicator floats to the
highest position, the bag is full and needs to be emptied.
NOTE: If the red ball in the indicator floats to the highest
position and the bag is not full, check for a clog in the
tubes. If clogged, raise the mowing deck to the highest
position and, with the blades engaged, press the "clear
bagger chute button" on the lawnmower's control panel.
The fan will activate for 30 seconds to clear the debris
from the tubes. The fan can be activated again a second
time, if necessary. Wait approximately 60 seconds before
pressing the button a third time.
EMPTYING THE GRASS BAG
See Figures 22 - 23.
The lever allows the user to empty the grass bag without
leaving the lawnmower seat.
 Carefully back the mower to the designated location for
emptying.
 Make sure the blade is not engaged.
 Stop the mower, place the joystick in the neutral and
locked position, secure the parking brake, and remove
the start key.
