Bagging Wet Grass
If possible, always try to cut grass when it is dry. Wet
grass can cause plugging.
Reducing Plugging
To avoid plugging the bagging system, reduce ground
speed and mow the grass at a high height-of-cut, then
lower the mower to your normal cutting height and repeat
the bagging process.
Signs of Plugging
As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings
normally blow out the front of the mower. An excessive
amount of clipping blow-out indicates that the bagger is
full or the tube is plugged.
Bagging Blades
In most mowing conditions, improved bagging
performance can be achieved by using bagging blades
(high lift). Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the
proper blades for different mowing conditions.
Curb Climbing and Loading
Always lift the deck to the highest position when loading
the machine on trailers or ascending/descending a curb.
Leaving the mower in a lower position can cause damage
to mower baffles while loading and going over a curb. If a
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.
