KNOW YOUR GRASS CATCHER
READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR OPERATING YOUR GRASS CATCHER. Compare the illustrations with the carton contents to familiarize yourself with the parts before starting the assembly. Study the operating instructions and safety precautions thoroughly to insure proper functioning of your Grass Catcher and to prevent injury to yourself and others. The operation of any riding mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your riding mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

CAUTION: BEFORE ASSEMBLING GRASS CATCHER TO RIDING MOWER: • Depress clutch/brake pedal fully and set parking brake. • Place gearshift/motion control lever in "NEUTRAL" position. • Make sure the blade and all moving parts have completely stopped. • Disconnect spark plug wire from plug and place where it cannot come in contact with plug.

BLADE REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT (See Fig. [. . . ] Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the flow path causing clogging. The wheel will be spinning fastest just before the bags fill completely. When the wheel stops, it indicates that the bags are full and the chutes have become clogged. NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes, check/empty bags when the wheel is spinning fast. [. . . ]
