Each catcher comes with mounting instructions specific to that catcher. All catchers have a general information sheet that provides catcher care direction and basic instructions. If your catcher comes with a bracket in the box, then you will also receive specific bracket installation instructions.
It is your responsibility to read the warnings below and follow the provided instructions.
TOOLS NEEDED IF A BRACKET IS REQUIRED:
If necessary, remove the deflector shield assembly to provide room to mount the catcher. Place the adaptor on the deck, and align it so that it fits snugly (1). Clamp the adaptor in place and drill mounting holes if necessary (2). Some adaptors may have holes pre-drilled. Insert the provided hardware and tighten it. Insert the catcher pin into the hole at the front of the adaptor, then slowly lower the back of the catcher until the hook seats onto the adaptor lip (3).
Please use caution and common sense when using our catcher. This catcher is intended for use by people who are physically capable of lifting heavy objects. Do not use this catcher if you cannot safely lift heavy loads, and always use proper lifting techniques. Always follow safe mowing practices. Carefully follow all instructions when using and or installing the catcher. Not following these instructions can be hazardous to you as well as others. Do not attempt to remove to remove or install the catcher until the mower blade(s) have completely stopped moving. Avoid overfilling the catcher. Use extreme caution when mowing on non-level surfaces to avoid potential slippage or tipping. Keep your hands away from the inside of the catcher and do not use the catcher if it is damaged.
WARNING! When the catcher is not in use, the deflector shield assembly must be reinstalled. Additionally, any bracket or adaptor that is obstructing the deflector shield from fully deploying must be removed.
WARNING! Before using the catcher, check the mounting area for any gaps where debris could escape. Also make sure that when mounted, the bottom of the catcher is BELOW the mower blade. If you are unable to get the catcher to mount properly without gapes, or the catcher bottom is riding above the mower blade, call us for technical assistance before using the catcher. Our service technicians will assist in determining the problem and finding a solution. If the problem cannot be resolved to your satisfaction, you may return the catcher for a full refund.
