Adjusting the Hopper Latch
The hopper latch is designed to maintain a tight seal between the hopper cover and body case. If the latch is difficult to operate, it can be adjusted:
1. Loosen attaching screws (A).
2. Pull latch (B) downward to lengthen the latching distance.
3. Tighten the attaching screws.
Replacing the Grass Bags
2. Mark each bag frame (A) as right or left side accordingly.
3. Remove M6 x 30 pan head screw (B), M6 locknut (C), and clip (D) from frame tube. Retain all parts.
4. Slide bag around frame until seam (E) appears at one of the bag openings.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Avoid distorting the frame. Do not bend apart frame ends beyond 12 mm (1/2 in.). |
5. Pull apart the frame tubes. Gently bend the tubes in opposite directions to provide 12 mm (1/2 in.) clearance between them.
NOTE: If frame position is incorrect when installing new bag, the bag will be upside down.
6. Work the bag material around the frame tube until the bag is removed.
7. Find the hole in the frame where the clip was previously installed. Then hold the frame as if it was going to be installed in the hopper. With the bag properly positioned, work the new bag onto the frame.
8. Once installed, make final adjustments to the bag until the machine safety label is positioned at the latch side of the hopper.
