  2. Add or remove weights as necessary.

  3. Secure the weights with the 2 bolts and the 2 nuts.

    The Finish Drag Mat includes 2 longer bolts to accommodate the additional weights that it requires.

    Note: If the machine is equipped with the light kit, install the front light by inserting the bolt through the weights and securing it with the nut; refer to the Light Kit Installation Instructions.

Stowing the Drag Mat

Whenever you are not using the drag mat, stow it in the carriers.

To stow the drag mat, simply roll it up and place it in the carriers.

Using the Drag Mat

Use caution while operating the machine with the drag mat installed. Keep operating speeds to a minimum acceptable level. For maximum mat life, avoid areas and objects that may snag or interrupt the travel of the mat.

  1. With the drag mat stowed in the carriers, drive the machine to an area that requires grooming.

  2. Remove the drag mat from the carriers, and place it on the ground.

  3. Pull the drag mat over the surface that requires grooming.

  4. When you have finished or are ready to groom a different area, stow the drag mat in the carriers.

Cleaning the Drag Mat

Keep the drag mat clean. Excessive soil buildup increases the attachment weight and may affect handling of the machine.
