USING THE BAGGING KIT See Figure 12 - 13. 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. BAG FULL INDICATOR 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. n Install bagging kit as previously described. n Mow as desired, keeping aware of the status of the bag full indicator. When the ridged wheel stops spinning, the bags are full and need to be emptied. NOTE: If the bag full indicator stops spinning when the bags are not full, check for a clog in the tubes. n Make sure direction control switch is in neutral (N) position and blade engage knob is down. n Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking brake. n Lift the cover and empty the clippings from the bags. n Replace the bags and close the cover fully. n Reinstall start key and restart mower when you are ready to return to mowing. NOTE: Always empty the bags before storing the mower. OPERATING TIPS n Avoid cutting wet grass or grass that is heavy with dew. Grass that is wet will be sticky and could adhere to bagger parts. n If the bagger fails to pick up cut grass or leaves when the bags are 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. n If desired, plastic trash bags can be inserted inside bagger for ease of debris disposal. Fig. 12 Fig. 13 MAINTENANCE The bagger assembly is subject to deterioration and wear and should be checked each time the mower is used. If replacement is needed, make sure the new bagger meets original manufacturer's recommendations and specifications.
