Checking Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure of machine before installing bagger. See your machine operator’s manual.

Front ballast is recommended to counter-balance the rear bagger:
• Install two 18 kg (40 lb) suitcase weights to front of machine. See your machine operator’s manual.
Remove ballast when bagger is not installed to ensure proper steering control and stability.
Installing POWER FLOW™

Adjusting Hopper
NOTE: Machine must be parked on a level surface with tires inflated to the correct air pressure before adjusting the hopper.
