[. . . ] Care should be taken not to damage the parts and that the wheel spins freely at the beginning of each use. If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the system or that the grass catcher containers are full. Usually this is indicated by the stopped movement of the full bagger indicator. cAUTION · Do not operate mower with grass catcher partially installed. [. . . ] Disengage blades and stop engine before leaving tractor seat to empty containers, unclogging chutes, etc. Disengage mower when crossing driveways or gravel surfaces and other areas where thrown objects could be a hazard. Do not attempt to vacuum up cans or other potentially hazardous projectiles. Your tractor already has four (4) shoulder bolts installed on the rear drawbar, simply hang the support assembly on the bolts (1). To remove the support assembly, pull outward on the stop bracket (2) enough to allow support assembly to be lifted up and away from drawbar. NOTE: For ease of assembly, you may wish to obtain the assistance of another person for mounting cover assembly to tractor. Place one foot inside bottom half and lift top half to meet bottom half. Press halves tightly together while lifting top to lock into place as shown. ASSEMBLY CHECK: Squeeze sides of lower half of container and check that there is no gap between upper and lower halves.
