Before you start you will need these tools:

• A drill with 5/16 bit • two 1/2 inch wrenches
• a C clamp or vise grip

1) Remove the deflector shield from the mower (be sure to keep it accessible for reattachment when you are not using the catcher)

2) Set the bracket on the mower so that the top of the bracket is flush with the top edge of the discharge area. The two small flanges should be to the inside of the mower deck.

3) Clamp the bracket in place with a C clamp or vise grip.

4) Drill 2 holes through both the bracket and the deck . Be sure the holes are at least 3 inches apart, and that the tops of the nuts will not be right under the hook (the bag may not seat all the way down if the tops of the nuts are just under the hook).

5) Use the stainless steel nuts and bolts provided to secure the bracket to the deck. Fasten them with the nuts inside the deck.

Note for 54 inch decks:

Use the same instructions as above. You may have to remove a small flange protruding from the mower in order to get the Accelerator Bracket to fit
YOU MUST HAVE EITHER THE CATCHER OR DEFLECTOR SHIELD IN PLACE EVERY TIME YOU MOW.

Please the General Instructions for my information about installation and use of your catcher.

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.
