Operating Instructions51Dumping Catcher into Dump Bag5. Lower the catcher smoothly down to the normaloperating position. DO NOT allow the catcherto drop down - the gas spring, that holds thecatcher in the raised position, is not a shockabsorber for lowering the catcher.6. Close the door by holding the door handlewith the left hand and releasing the safetylatch on the door hinge mechanism with theright hand. The safety latch is released bypressing in on the top of the latch. The doorwill close smoothly with the assistance of thegas springs. If the dampening springs are notfunctioning properly, they should be replacedto prevent the door from slamming closed andpossibly causing a pinch point.Power Dump OptionWhen equipped with the optional power dump sys-tem, the operator dumps the catcher while sitting inthe seat. A toggle switch operating a power ram isused to raise and lower the catcher. The back doorautomatically opens and closes during the dumpcycle.Hold the toggle switch UP or DOWN to RAISE orLOWER the catcher. When the catcher reaches thefull raised or lowered position, the power ram clutchwill make a ratcheting sound. Release the toggleswitch as soon as this sound is heard. DO NOT op-erate the ram with the clutch ratcheting for anextended time as this will cause extra wear on theclutch mechanism.NOTE: If grass tends to hang up in the catcher af-ter raising the catcher with the power dump, “jiggle”the steering levers and make the tractor bounce a lit-tle to unstick the grass and make it slide out of thecatcher.NOTE: With the power dump mechanism in thenormal operating position (catcher down), thecatcher can be manually raised for access to theengine and the catcher can be manually dumped.Catcher Lift/Dump HandleCAUTIONThe operator should be in the seat andbystanders stay clear when the powerdump is operating. The power dump isused ONLY for tailgate dumping. Do notattempt to use the optional dump bag orany other bag with the power dump.
