The rear bagger chute for the 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep� Mower Deck (42A) is required for use of the two-bag, 7-bu (247-L) rear bagger:

The chute is a two-piece design to allow easy installation at the mower deck, without the rear of the chute being encumbered by the hopper. A convenient handle is included on the top section of the chute to make installation and removal easier. The top section of the chute slides into the flexible hose that is attached to the hopper and is held securely to the bottom section with an easy-to-use bungee cord. A fill indicator tells the operator when the bags are getting full. The rear bagger chute attachment includes special bagging blades, a toe guard (A) with features for installing the bagger chute, and a front bagger baffle (B) to direct the material rearward into the bagger chute:

The replacement toe guard is intended to remain on the mower deck and to be used for any mower application - bagging, side discharging, or mulching. A baffle to narrow the side-discharge opening (where the bagger chute is installed on the mower deck) and direct the material into the chute is provided with the rear bagger chute and needs to be bolted underneath the deck at the front. This baffle may remain in place when the bagger chute is removed for side discharging material, however for ultimate side-discharge performance it could be removed. This front baffle included with the bagger chute attachment is not required if the mower deck is equipped with the MulchControl� attachment. The MulchControl front baffle can remain with the gate open for bagging and serves the same purpose. Installing the chute is easy:

First, slide the front mounting pin into the tube that is on the front...
