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:
1. Remove the rear door of the catcher.
Place the leaf extender at the rear of
the catcher and strap it in place with a
ratchet strap or bungee cord.
2.Place the hook on the catcher directly
in front of the extender latch and mark
the hole location with a sharpie.
3.Using a center punch and hammer, make
an indent at the site you marked, then
drill a 1/4” hole. Then insert the
hardware and tighten using a Phillips
screw-driver and a socket.
4.Place the Extender latch over the hook, and close the latch.

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.
