• Replace bagger or optional rear dis charge de flec tor to
allow mower to operate.
You are now ready to begin mulching.
• To continue mowing, ensure that the area around the
tractor is clear and carefully pull forward until the bagger
has cleared the grass pile. Once the bagger is clear of
the grass pile, stop the tractor, ensure the transaxle is in
the neutral position, set the parking brake, and turn the
dump switch clockwise until the bagger is completely
down.
IMPORTANT: Bagger max load = 60 Lb (27,2 Kg) of grass
IMPORTANT: The electric dump system may be equipped
with an overload protection device. If the bagger system
is overloaded, it will cut power to the system. The protec-
tion device will automatically reset after approximately 2
minutes. Once the system has reset, ensure that nothing
is on top of or against the bagger that could overload the
system. Open the bag slightly using the switch and then
use a small rake or similar tool to scoop grass out of the
bag. Once you have removed the excess load, attempt to
dump the bagger using the electric dump system.
