This catcher is intended for use by professional landscape personnel who have been trained in proper safety techniques and are physically capable of lifting heavy objects.

Preparing your mower:

a) Make sure the mower control cables are out of the way. If they catch on the bag when you are putting it in, use tape (duct tape works well) to secure the cables to the outside of the mower handle.

b) Lift the black cover flap on the back of the mower all the way back until it touches the engine cover. If you are right handed, stand on the left side of the mower and use your left hand to hold the cover back. If you are left handed do it the opposite way.

c) Holding the bag by the center handle, lower it into place.

d) Make sure the inward facing front pins are secure and in place between the clips and the cover flap.

e) release cover flap.

Clean bag out at the end of each work day (especially if you have been mowing wet grass). The bag will clean easily with a hose or an air compressor. Be sure to wear eye protection especially if you are cleaning the bag with an air gun or hose. Do not put your hands inside the catcher- there are some surfaces that can cause abrasions or cuts. Never use excessive pressure or force when cleaning the bag as this may damage the bag and/or injure you.
• Never throw the catcher when full of grass. It is very heavy when full, and the impact may cause damage to the frame.
• Be sure to secure the catcher to your truck or it may fly out while driving.
