Signs of Plugging helps reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance of plugging the blower assembly and tubes. As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings normally blows out the front of the cutting unit. An excessive amount of clipping blowout indicates that the bagger is full, or the tube is plugged. Bagging Speed The bagging system may plug if you drive too fast and the engine speed gets too slow. On hills it may be necessary to slow the ground speed of the machine.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Inspect the bagger. After each use Every 100 hours • Clean the hood screen. • Clean the bagger and bags. • Inspect the bagger. Preparing the Machine for Maintenance 1. Perform the steps in Preparing the Machine for Maintenance (page 15). 2. Wash the inside and outside of the bagger hood, bags, tube, and the underside of the cutting unit.
Storage 1. Clean the bagger attachment. Refer to Cleaning the Bagger and Bags (page 15). 2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage. 3. Make sure that the bags are empty and thoroughly dry. 4. Check the belt for wear or cracks. 5. Store the machine in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If you must store the machine outside, cover it with a weatherproof cover. This protects the plastic parts and extends the life of the machine.
Troubleshooting Problem There is abnormal vibration. There is reduced bagging performance. The blower and tubes plug too frequently. Possible Cause 1.
