When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time. The amount collected and the total time of operation may be greater than you will experience with regular use of your grass catcher. • • • • Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS STORAGE Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance. • Before each use check for loose fasteners. • Clean unit thoroughly after each use. When grass catcher is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grass, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry place. CAUTION: Do not leave grass in bagger containers. Empty containers after each use and before storing.
