Note: The bolt head on the drive pulley assembly, should be approximately a 1/4 in. (6mm) rearward of the center in the frame slot (Fig. 11). View this from the right–hand side of the machine. 2. Tighten the 4 bolts (1/2 x 1–1/4 in.), 4 washers (1/2 in.) and 4 locknuts (1/2 in.) (Fig.
9. Tape the template to the engine shroud. Mark the outer edge of the template. (Fig. 13). 10. Cut the engine shroud at the marked line. This will prevent damage to the engine shroud while using the bagger lever (Fig. 13). Note: Make sure to follow the template outline.
8. Adjust the bagger belt for proper tension. Refer to 3. There must be a gap of 1 in. 1/8 in. (26mm 3 mm) Adjusting the Bagger Belt on page 12. between the belt strands(Fig 18). 9. Adjust the PTO drive belt. Refer to Adjusting the PTO 4.
5. To adjust push arms, loosen jam nut and rotate ball joint counterclockwise, one turn at a time. Adjust each side the same amount (Fig. 21). Note: Increase belt tension by lengthening the push arms and decrease belt tension by shortening push arms. Important If the push arm lengths are changed, then the mower deck must be leveled.

11. Slide the middle tube onto the boot and latch them Operation together (Fig. 24). Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important If the machine is on a slope, chock or block the wheels to prevent the machine from slowly rolling.
4. Return the bagger arm to upright position in one quick motion. Make sure the bagger door fully engages into the latch (Fig. 26). Note: Make sure the bagger latch is fully engaged before collecting grass. m–5876 Figure 27 1. Holding pin 3.
4. Remove the tube assembly from the bagger (Fig. 24). Warning 5. Remove the boot from the mounting bracket (Fig. 24). 6. Lower the grass deflector back into place. An uncovered discharge opening could allow the lawn mower to throw objects in the operator’s or 7.
Operating and Bagging Tips Bagging Long Grass Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled completely into the bagger. If this happens, the tube and Machine Size boot may plug. To avoid plugging the bagging system, mow the grass at a high height-of-cut, then lower the Remember that the machine is longer and wider with this mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the attachment installed.
curb is higher than 6 inches (152 mm), cross it at a sharp angle with the deck fully raised. Use extreme caution when loading onto a trailer. Maintenance Important If the machine is on a slope, chock or block the wheels to prevent the machine from slowly rolling. Note: Determine the left and right side of the machine from the normal operating position.
Inspecting the Mower Blades 2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage. Refer to Inspecting the Bagger Attachment on page 19. and Baffles 3. Make sure the bagger is empty and thoroughly dry. 1. Inspect the mower blades and baffles regularly and 4.
