The Model OEM-190-180 Twin Bag Grass Collector is a grass collection system designed for use on all MTD 38" & 42" cut FastAttach™ compatible lawn tractors (except 2001 Yard-Man Revolution/White Outdoor ZTT).

The instructions in this manual are divided into sections. Carefully read all sections pertaining to your model of rider, and study the illustrations to ensure proper installation and usage of this attachment. Read and observe all WARNING, NOTES and IMPORTANT statements. They are included to provide for the protection of the equipment installer and user, and to ensure the prolonged service life of the equipment.

NOTE: References to LEFT and RIGHT indicate the left and right sides of the tractor when facing forward in the operator's position. Reference to the FRONT indicates the grille end; to the REAR, the rear end of the rider.

Determine The Model of Your Rider

Since this manual is designed for installation of your new dagger on several different rider units, it is important for you to determine which model of rider you have. Therefore you will know which set of instructions in the following pages to follow.

To determine which model of rider you have, you will need to locate the rider's model plate, located under the seat. Simply flip the seat up and locate the model plate, which will consist of an 11 digit/letter model number and a serial number. For ease in this installation and for future use, copy your rider's model number & serial number below now:

Rider Model Number:

Rider Serial Number:

The 5^th , 6^th & 7^th numbers from the left in your model number determine your rider's model series. See Figure 2.

When you fill in your model number in the space above, the actual model series number should fall into the gray shaded area.

Now that you have determined what model rider you are attaching this grass bag collection system to, follow the instructions on the following pages according to your model of rider.

Attaching Discharge Chute

All 600 Model Series 600 through 699

NOTE:

The retainer strap is fitted at position A on the discharge chute. However, on older models of tractors, you will have to change the position of the strap depending on the location of the grass catcher pin on the deck. Remove the retainer strap from position A on the discharge chute to position B or C corresponding to the position of the grass catcher pin at A, B or C on the deck. See Figure 23.

Attaching Discharge Chute

On Older Model Riders

1. On some older models, a clip is already installed on the cutting deck next to the discharge chute opening in position A, B, or C, as seen in Figure 21. If this is the case, the clip must be removed and a grass catcher pin installed.
2. Pin Installation: A grass catcher pin (G in Figure 4) and nut (H in Figure 4) have been supplied in the hardware pack. First remove the clip, as seen in Figure 22A, by removing the nut and bolt. Then attach the grass catcher pin as seen in Figure 22B. Make sure to secure the pin tightly.
3. Some units may not have clip, but will have an open hole for pin installation. In this case, install the grass catcher pin from the hardware pack in the available hole.
4. You will then need to position the retainer strap on the discharge chute to correspond with the hole and pin. See Figure 23 for retainer strap positioning.

NOTE: The retainer strap is fitted at position A on the discharge chute. However, on older models of tractors, you will have to change the position of the strap depending on the location of the grass catcher pin on the deck. Remove the retainer strap from position A on the discharge chute to position B or C corresponding to the position of the grass catcher pin at A, B or C on the deck. See Figure 23.
