Part # GCBOP Better Outdoor Products Quick 36 Mower

Accelerator Industries Custom catcher owner’s manual.

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. READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL (FRONT AND BACK) BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR USE THE CATCHER. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION.

Installation instructions:

BE SURE TO READ THE WARNING LABEL BEFORE USING OR INSTALLING THIS CATCHER. A COPY IS ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1) Remove the deflector shield.

2) Attach the catcher by sliding the 2 stainless pins forward though the deflector support tab holes. The catcher is prevented from sliding backwards by the small piece of steel that protrudes from the front of the mower opening. You have to angle the catcher as you are putting it on and pivot it down after you have attached it.

The Above picture gives you an idea of how the GCBOP catcher fits onto the Quick 36 mower deck.

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:

You must re attach the deflector shield before using the mower without the catcher.

Removing and emptying the catcher:

A). Turn engine off. Be sure blade has stopped rotating before proceeding to step B.
B) While the catcher is still mounted on the mower, lift the pin on the back of the catcher out.
C) Remove the catcher from the mower by angling the catcher towards you and pulling the catcher back an inch or so. Use proper lifting techniques to avoid back injury. Be sure you have secure footing before attempting to lift the bag.
D) Empty the catcher by tipping it towards the back until the grass falls out.
E) put the catcher back on the mower.
F) Secure the pin.

-- HEAVY LIFTING --
If the catcher becomes too full for you to carry, prop the door open and empty some of the debris using a hoe or rake. DON’T OVERFILL ESPECIALLY WITH WET GRASS. Some of our catcher models are quite large and become very heavy when full. While the catcher can take the heavy load, your body may not be able to. USE COMMON SENSE.

Warning! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

Read the catcher owner's manual before using or installing this product. Improper installation can cause hazards.
Follow all the safety instructions provided with your lawn mower.
Never use your mower without the catcher or original grass deflector fully installed.
If your deflector shield cannot fully deploy with a catcher bracket mounted, remove you catcher bracket before using your mower without the catcher.
Always use eye protection when operating your lawn mower.
Keep others away from the mowing area.
Do not use this catcher if you cannot safely lift heavy loads. Use proper lifting techniques.
be sure the blade has stopped moving before removing or installing the catcher.
Use caution when mowing on slopes. The fuller and heavier the catcher is the more likely the mower is to tip over or slip.

Tips for cleaning and maximum bag life:

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.
