SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating your grass bagger, please read and understand all safety instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
* Never operate the grass bagger without the discharge chute attached. The discharge chute helps to direct grass clippings away from the operator and other people.
* Never put your hands or feet near the discharge chute or the rotating blades. The blades can cause serious injury if they come into contact with your body.
* Keep children and pets away from the grass bagger at all times. Children and pets can be seriously injured if they come into contact with the blades or other moving parts of the grass bagger.
* Inspect the grass bagger before each use. Make sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight. Check the bag for holes or tears.
* Replace any damaged parts before operating the grass bagger. Operating the grass bagger with damaged parts could result in serious injury or death.
* Never use the grass bagger in wet grass. Wet grass can clog the bag and cause the grass bagger to overheat.
* Empty the grass bag frequently. A full grass bag can weigh up to 50 pounds and can be difficult to handle. Empty the bag when it is about one-third full.
