Gravely
recommends
grass
collection
with a
Grass
Bagger
without
using
blade
vanes.
If
performance
is
satisfac-
tory
without
vanes, do not
use vanes.
The
vanes
use
more
power
and
generate
more
noise. Use vanes
only if
satisfactory
performance
cannot
be obtained
without
them.
Generally, broadleaf
grasses
can be
cut and bagqed
without vanes. The finer
grasses
may require
the
use of
vanes.
In
damp
conditions, vanes may
also be
of he1p.
