 Using your left hand, grasp the lever and force the handle
down to release the magnetic catch.
NOTE: Be sure the cable is connected to the gate. If the
cable is not connected, the lever may strike the left, rear
panel of the mower when being activated and could cause
damage to the panel.
 The clippings and debris should fall into a pile beneath
the bagger opening.
 Pull up on the lever to close and latch the gate. Be sure
the magnet is engaged before moving the mower.
 Reinstall start key and restart mower when you are ready
to return to mowing.
NOTE: Always empty the grass bag before storing the mower.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always stop the mower,
place the joystick in the neutral and locked position, set
the parking brake, and remove the start key when clean-
ing or performing any maintenance.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse off your
product and do not expose the product to rain or wet
conditions. Store indoors in a dry area. Corrosive liquids,
water, and chemicals can enter the product's electronic
components and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack, which
can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and seri-
ous personal injury. Remove any buildup of dirt and debris
by wiping the product clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
OPERATION
The magnetic catch should be sufficient to safely keep the
gate closed, however, when operating on rough terrain, the
hook and loop strap may be installed as shown to help hold
the gate in its closed position.
OPERATING TIPS
 Avoid cutting wet grass or grass that is heavy with dew.
Grass that is wet will be sticky and could adhere to bag-
ger parts.
 If the bagger fails to pick up cut grass or leaves when the
bag is not full, it may indicate that a clog has occurred.
Stop the motor, remove the start key, set the parking brake,
and check all parts of the bagger for clogged material.
