Overview

This document is the Operator's Manual for the Triple Rear Bagger, Model No. 19A40002OEM & 19A40002000, manufactured by MTD LLC. It provides comprehensive instructions for the safe assembly, installation, operation, and maintenance of the bagging attachment.

Function Description:

The Triple Rear Bagger is an attachment designed for lawn mowers to collect grass clippings during operation. It consists of a chute system that directs clippings from the mower deck into three grass bag assemblies, which are housed under a protective cover at the rear of the tractor. This attachment helps maintain a clean lawn by preventing cut grass from being discharged onto the ground. The kit includes specific components such as bagging blades and deck baffles to optimize the mower's performance for grass collection.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual does not explicitly list a comprehensive set of technical specifications for the bagger itself, such as dimensions or material composition. However, it does provide part numbers for specific components that are deck-size dependent:

  • Deck Baffles: Separate baffles are provided for 50" and 54" mowing decks (Part No. 703-05783-0637 for 50" and 703-06018A-0637 for 54").
  • Bagging Blades: Two sets of blades are included, one for 50" mowing decks (Part No. 742-04056C-0637, 17.90 Lg., Star Bagging) and another for 54" mowing decks (Part No. 942-0679, 18.50 Lg., High Lift).
  • Hardware: Various bolts, nuts, and clips are specified with their respective sizes and part numbers for assembly.

Usage Features:

  • Compatibility: Designed for specific lawn mower models (implied by the "OEM" and "000" model numbers, suggesting original equipment manufacturer compatibility).
  • Triple Bag System: Utilizes three individual grass bags, allowing for greater collection capacity before needing to be emptied.
  • Easy Bag Removal: Grass bags are designed to be easily lifted out of the support assembly for emptying.
  • Hinged Cover: The bagger cover is hinged, allowing for convenient access to the grass bags.
  • Chute System: Includes an upper chute tube, chute tube extension, discharge chute elbow, and a chute adapter to efficiently transport grass clippings.
  • Safety Interlocks: The manual emphasizes the importance of the mower's safety interlock system and other safety devices, implying that the bagger's operation is integrated with these features.
  • Slope Operation Guidelines: Provides strict guidelines for operating the mower with the bagger on slopes, including a slope gauge to determine safe operating angles (not exceeding 10 degrees).

Maintenance Features:

  • Blade Replacement: The kit includes high-lift bagging blades that replace the standard mower blades, optimizing cutting and collection. Instructions are provided for safe blade removal and installation, emphasizing the use of heavy work gloves and proper torque for tightening hex flange nuts (70 to 90 foot-pounds).
  • Deck Baffle Installation: Specific deck baffles are installed to improve the airflow and collection efficiency for different deck sizes.
  • Hardware Tightening: The manual stresses the importance of keeping all nuts, bolts, and screws tight for safe working condition.
  • Component Inspection: Users are advised to frequently check grass catcher components and the discharge cover for wear and damage and to replace them immediately with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
  • Safety Label Maintenance: Instructions include maintaining or replacing safety and instruction labels as necessary.
  • Cleaning: Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, users must ensure blades and all moving parts have stopped, disconnect the spark plug wire, and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
  • Storage: While not explicitly detailed, the ability to remove the bagger components suggests it can be stored separately when not in use. The original mower blades can be reinstalled when the bagger is not attached.

The manual also includes a comprehensive parts list with reference numbers, part numbers, and descriptions for all components of the Triple Rear Bagger kit, facilitating easy identification and ordering of replacement parts. A limited warranty is provided by MTD LLC, covering defects in material and workmanship for one year, with specific exclusions for normal wear parts and commercial use.
