Operation
WARNING
This unit has spinning mower blades. These blades
can pick up and throw debris that could seriously
injure a bystander. Clear the operating area of any
objects which could be thrown by, or interfere with
operation of, the unit.
Do not operate the unit without the entire collection
system, discharge chute, or other safety devices in
place and functioning properly. Check frequently for
signs of wear or deterioration and replace as needed.
Do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is
running. If someone enters the area, shut the unit o
immediately, and wait until they leave to re-start the
unit.
Before Operation
Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris
which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades.
For best results, mow when the grass is dry. Wet grass
tends to clump and plug up the mower and grass catcher.
For efficient grass collection, air circulation under the
mower deck, through the catcher boot / blower and
discharge tubes, and into the grass catcher is very
important.
For this reason, BEFORE YOU BEGIN MOWING make
sure that the underside of the mower and the underside
of the grass catcher cover are free from grass and debris.
Make sure that there is a snug fit between the mower
deck, catcher boot / blower, discharge tubes, and grass
catcher cover.
Front Weights
Install the front weights any time the grass collection
system is mounted. Never operate the zero turn mower
on slopes greater than 10 degrees.
WARNING
Failure to install the front weights with the grass
collection system can cause a lack of stability or
control, resulting in death or serious injury.
Installation
Refer to the Set-Up Instructions for set-up and installation
of this attachment.
Safety Interlock System Tests
The zero turn mower is equipped with a Safety Interlock
System. This system is present for your safety: do not
attempt to bypass or tamper with the switches and
devices. Check the system using the Safety Interlock
System Tests listed in the Operator’s Manual.
Anytime the collection system is removed and reinstalled,
you must perform this test.
• To help prevent res, keep the unit free of grass, leaves,
or other unwanted material. Clean remaining oil or fuel
spillage. Remove fuel soaked debris and let the unit
cool before storage.
NOTICE
Be careful when turning away from
objects. The grass catcher may
collide with objects causing damage.

Removal
Refer to the Set-Up Instructions for removal of this
attachment.
After Operation
For the blower:
The blower housing and discharge tube should be
removed for cleaning. See Removal.
For the grass catcher:
1. Empty the grass bags.
2. Remove any accumulated debris from the inside of
the grass catcher.
3. Remove any debris from the screen on the underside
of the grass catcher cover.
NOTE: The screen can be partially removed for easier
cleaning and should be cleaned regularly.
4. Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower
deck, blower housing, discharge tube, and grass
catcher cover.
Mowing with the Collection System
Always operate with engine running at full speed when
mowing.
Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass
is too long or lush it may be necessary to keep ground
speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width of the
mower to prevent clogging. If grass is long, operate with
mower in high cutting position for first pass, cutting again
in a lower position on a second pass.
Look through the discharge tubes to check for grass flow.
Do not open the grass catcher cover with the PTO
engaged.
If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from under
the deck, the grass bags may be full or the discharge
tubes may be plugged. See Troubleshooting.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Yard debris is combustible.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, zero turn
mower and attachment free of grass, leaves and
excess grease. Do not stop or park the zero turn
mower over dry leaves, grass or combustible
materials.
Mowing without the Collection System
If you need to mow without the collection system in place
(for instance, if the grass is too wet to bag, but must
be mowed), you must remove the collection system
and properly position the deflector BEFORE you begin
mowing.
Refer to the Set-Up Instructions for removal instructions.
WARNING
Amputation and Thrown Objects Hazard
Do not operate the unit without either the entire grass
collection system or the deflector in place.
Emptying the Grass Bags
The grass bags should be emptied when they are
approximately 2/3 full. Overlling can cause the
discharge tubes and / or blower to clog.
To empty the grass bags:
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop
the engine and remove the key. Wait for all moving
parts to stop.
2. Unlock and open the grass catcher cover.
3. Remove the grass bags from the frame rails on the
hitch assembly and empty in a designated area or
container.
4. Check the grass bags for any wear or damage.
Replace worn or damaged grass bags.
5. Install the grass bags onto the frame rails.

Instrucciones de seguridad
Seguridad general
ADVERTENCIA
• Lea, comprenda y siga las instrucciones y advertencias
en este manual y en la unidad, el motor y los accesorios
antes de operar la unidad.
• No leer y respetar estas instrucciones de seguridad
podría resultar en la pérdida del control de la unidad,
lesiones corporales graves o la muerte para el usuario o
para terceros, o daños a la propiedad o a los equipos. La

Leer y comprender el manual del operador es una forma
de capacitarse.
• Si los operadores o mecánicos no pueden leer el material,
es la responsabilidad del propietario explicarles este
material.
• Los equipos eléctricos son tan seguros como lo sea
el operador. Si se les da un uso indebido, o no se les
realiza el mantenimiento correspondiente, ¡pueden
ser peligrosos! El propietario o usuario puede prevenir
accidentes o lesiones que sufra él mismo, otras personas
o propiedad, de los cuales es responsable.
• Solo permita que adultos responsables, capacitados, que
estén familiarizados con las instrucciones, y que sean
físicamente competentes operen la unidad.
• Nunca permita que niños o personas sin capacitación
operen o realicen el mantenimiento de la unidad. Las
normas locales pueden restringir la edad del operador.
• No opere la unidad bajo la inuencia de alcohol o drogas.
• Nunca utilice un teléfono inteligente, tableta, u otro
dispositivo electrónico al operar. La operación distraída
puede aumentar el riesgo de accidente o lesiones.
• Utilice el equipo de protección personal, tal como calzado
de seguridad, pantalones largos, gafas de seguridad y
protección auditiva. El cabello largo, la ropa oja o joyas
pueden enredarse en las partes móviles.
• Use el sentido común y piense con detenimiento lo que
hace. Si no tiene certeza que la tarea que está por realizar
puede hacerse de manera segura con el equipo que ha
elegido, pregúntele a un profesional: comuníquese con el
distribuidor de servicio autorizado STIHL.
• No coloque las manos o los pies cerca de las piezas
giratorias o debajo de la unidad. Manténgase alejado de la
abertura de descarga en todo momento.

Operación
ADVERTENCIA
Esta unidad tiene cuchillas de cortacésped giratorias.
Estas cuchillas pueden recoger y arrojar detritos que
podrían lesionar gravemente a un transeúnte. Despeje
el área de operación de cualquier objeto que pueda ser
lanzado, o que interera con la operación de la unidad.
No opere la unidad sin el sistema de recolección
completo, canaleta de descarga, u otros dispositivos de
seguridad en su lugar y funcionando adecuadamente.
Revise con frecuencia en búsqueda de señales de
desgaste o deterioro y sustituya según sea necesario.
No permita la presencia de otras personas en el área con
la unidad en funcionamiento. Si alguien ingresa al área,
apague la unidad de inmediato y espere hasta que se
retire para reiniciar la unidad.
Antes de la operación
Despeje todas las ramas, piedras, alambres u otros residuos
del césped, que pueden quedar atrapados o ser arrojados
por las cuchillas del cortacésped.
Para mejores resultados, corte el césped cuando esté
seco. El césped húmedo tiende a aglomerarse y obstruir el
cortacésped y el recolector de césped.
Para una buena recolección de césped, es muy importante
que haya buena circulación de aire debajo de la cubierta del
cortacésped a través de la bota del recolector/soplador y
tubos de descarga hacia el recolector de césped.
Debido a esto, ANTES DE COMENZAR A CORTAR EL
CÉSPED, debe asegurarse de que el lado inferior del
cortacésped y del recolector de césped no tengan césped ni
residuos.
Asegúrese de que exista un ajuste ceñido entre la cubierta
del cortacésped, la bota del recolector, el soplador, los
tubos de descarga y la cubierta del recolector de césped.
Pesos frontales
Instale los pesos frontales siempre que el sistema de
recolección de césped este montado. Nunca opere el
cortacésped de giro cero en pendientes superiores a
10 grados.
ADVERTENCIA
Si no instala los pesos frontales con el sistema de
recolección de césped, puede haber una falta de
estabilidad o control, que puede provocar lesiones
graves o la muerte.
Instalación
Consulte las Instrucciones de montaje para la conguración
e instalación de este conector.
Pruebas del sistema de
interbloqueo de seguridad
El cortacésped de giro cero está equipado con un
sistema de interbloqueo de seguridad. Este sistema está
presente para su seguridad; no intente anular o alterar los
interruptores y dispositivos de seguridad. Revise el sistema
con las Pruebas del sistema de interbloqueo de seguridad
enumeradas en el Manual del Operador.
Siempre que retire o reinstale el sistema de recolección,
debe realizar esta prueba.
• Para ayudar a prevenir incendios, mantenga la unidad
libre de césped, hojas, y otros materiales no deseados.
Limpie el derrame de aceite o combustible. Retire los
residuos remojados de combustible y permita que la
unidad se enfríe antes de almacenar.
AVISO
Tenga cuidado al girar para alejarse de
objetos. El recolector de césped puede
chocar con objetos y causar daños.
