Do not touch engine components when hot.
Allow the engine to cool before removing the bagger.

Caution

Failing to remove the front bagger weights and operating the machine without the bagger attachment may cause an unstable condition that could result in a loss of control.

Always remove the front weights when removing the bagger attachment.

Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position, and engage the parking brake.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
Remove the bagger by repeating the setup sections in the reverse order, beginning with Step Installing the Bagger Tube.
Remove the blower assembly by repeating the setup sections in the reverse order; refer to the Installation Instructions for the blower.

Note: Ensure that you remove the front weight and install the grass deflector when you remove the blower assembly.

Danger

Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or death.

Always install the grass deflector when removing the bagger and changing to side-discharge mode.
If the grass deflector is damaged, replace it immediately. The grass deflector directs material down toward the turf.
Never put your hands or feet under the machine.
Never try to clear the discharge area or mower blades unless you move the power takeoff (PTO) to the OFF position, rotate the ignition key to OFF, and remove the key.

Transporting the Machine

Ensure that the latch is fastened at the rear of the bagger hood before you trailer the machine.

Danger

Transporting the machine with grass or debris in the bagger can damage the machine.

Do not leave grass or debris in the bagger while transporting the machine.

Operating Tips

Machine Size

Remember that the machine is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places, you may damage the attachment or other property.

Trimming

Always trim with the left side of the mower. Do not trim with the right side of the mower because you could damage the bagger chute and discharge tube.

Cutting Height

For optimum bagging performance, set the deck height-of-cut to remove no more that 51 to 76 mm (2 to 3 inches) or 1/3 of the grass height, whichever is less. Cutting off more than this reduces the capacity of the vacuum system.

Cutting Frequency

Cut the grass often, especially when it grows rapidly. You will have to cut your grass twice if it gets excessively long; refer to Bagging Long Grass.

Cutting Technique

For best lawn appearance, be sure to slightly overlap the mower into the previously cut area. This helps reduce the load on the engine and reduces the chance of plugging the blower assembly and tube.

Bagging Speed

The bagging system may plug if you drive too fast and the engine speed is too slow. On hills, it may be necessary to slow the ground speed of the machine. Mow downhill whenever possible.

Caution

As the bagger fills, extra weight is added to the back of the machine. If you stop and start the machine suddenly on hills, you may lose steering control or the machine may tip.

Do not start or stop suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Avoid uphill starts.
If you do stop the machine when going uphill, disengage the PTO. Then back down the hill using a slow speed.
Do not change speeds or stop on slopes.

Bagging Long Grass

If the grass is longer than normal or if it contains a high degree of moisture, raise the cutting height higher than usual and cut and bag the grass at this setting. Then cut and bag the grass again using the lower, normal setting.

Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled completely into the bagger. If this happens, the tube and blower may plug. To avoid plugging the bagging system, mow the grass at a high height of cut, then lower the mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process.

Bagging Wet Grass

If possible, always try to cut grass when it is dry. Wet grass can cause plugging.

Reducing Plugging

To avoid plugging the bagging system, reduce the ground speed and mow the grass at a high height of cut, then lower the mower to your normal cutting height and repeat the bagging process.

Signs of Plugging

As you are bagging, a small amount of grass clippings normally blow out the front of the mower. An excessive amount of clipping blow-out indicates that the bagger is full or the blower or tube is plugged.

Bagging Blades

In most mowing conditions, the standard high lift blades provide the best bagging performance.

Use a Toro Atomic blade for bagging leaves in dry conditions. In dry dusty conditions, the medium lift or low lift blades, in combination with the Bagging Enhancement Kit, reduce dust and dirt blowout while providing effective bagging air flow.

Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the proper blades for different mowing conditions.

Curb Climbing and Loading

Always lift the deck to the highest position when loading the machine on trailers or ascending/descending a curb. Leaving the mower in a lower position can damage the mower while loading and going over a curb. If a curb is higher than 15.2 cm (6 inches), cross it at a sharp angle with the deck fully raised. Use caution when loading the machine onto a trailer.
