Indiana,
This is another great question from you and hopefully other users of the bagging system will answer this question as well. Below are some comments that I pulled from the Operation section of the G26LRV Owner's Manual. Following these recommendations will help the G26LRV run at optimum levels when bagging.
When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time. The amount collected and the total time of operation may be greater than you will experience with regular use of your grass catcher.
• Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.
• Select a gear low enough to give good mower cutting performance, good quality cut and good bagging performance.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice. The first time relatively high, the second time to desired height.
• Use left hand side of mower for trimming.
• Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash bags when full then please read additional detail in the Operator's Manual.
• Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the flow path causing clogging.
• Your bagger is equipped with a full bagger indicator. Movement of the wheel increases as the bags fill. The wheel will be spinning at the fastest just before the bags fill completely. When the wheel stops, it indicates that the bags are full and the chutes have become clogged.
