Assemble Mounting Brackets

To assemble the bagger mounting assembly, locate the

mounting assembly pack and follow these steps:

1. Attach the two hitch side brackets to the universal rear

attachment bracket using two carriage bolts (710-0276) and

wing knobs (720-04122) from hardware pack 689-00328A.

Note: The hooks on the side brackets should point

downwards and the tabs on the rear plate point upwards as

shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1

2. Flip over assembly and mount the hitch support bracket to

the mounting assembly as shown in Figure 4-1.

Note: It might be easier during the mounting stage to

leave this hardware only finger tight to facilitate lining up

the hitch hole for the clevis pin. You will be instructed to

tighten this hardware later in this manual.
