HOW TO USE THE GRASS BAGGER
_IL WARNING: Do not ride up or down slopes that are too
steep to back straight up. Never ride the unit across
a slope. See the "Slope Guide" in the back of this
book for information on how to check slopes.
OPERATION
To operate with the grass bagger, follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT: Do not cut wet grass. Wet grass will not
discharge correctly into the grass bagger.
1. Start the engine.
2. Move the throttle control to FAST position.
3. To fill the grass bag, always operate with a slow forward
speed.

If the height of the grass is more than 31/2 inches (9cm), cut
the grass with the mower housing in the highest position.
Then, lower the mower housing and cut the grass again. You
can also cut at 1/2 to 2/3 of the full cutting width of the mower
housing.
