Unplugging Mower, Bagger, or Material Collection System

Avoid injury! Do not attempt to unplug attachment with the machine running.

• Rotating blades are dangerous. Shut off the engine and remove the key before getting off the seat to inspect the machine and attachment.
• Thrown objects can cause serious injury. Make sure that all machine parts are stopped before raising hopper top or removing chutes.

Checking for Plugging While Driving

If grass builds up in the front of the mower discharge chute, check for plugged chute or problems with blower assembly (if equipped).

If there is a trail of clippings behind mower or clippings blow to the side, check for plugged chute, full collector bags, or problems with blower assembly.

Removing Debris from Inspection Points:

Avoid injury! Do not use hands or feet to clear plugged mower deck or blower assembly. Stored energy can cause blades to rotate.

1. Park machine safely. Wait for all moving parts to stop before getting off to inspect machine.

2. Open hopper cover. Check chute outlet.

3. Remove chute from the mower deck or blower assembly. Check chute inlet.

4. Check under the mower deck for debris.
