INSTALLING THE BAGGING KIT
The ACRM022 Bagging Kit is compatible with the RYOBI
RYRM8001 ZTR riding mowers. This kit includes a bagger
and special mower blades designed to be used when bag-
ging. Install the blades first, then install the bagging kit.
REMOVING THE CUTTING DECK
See Figure 2.
If desired, the cutting deck can be removed from the mower
to make accessing the blades easier when changing.
 Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking
brake.
 Disconnect the cables that connect the cutting deck to
the mower.
 Lower the cutting deck to its lowest position.
 Remove the 4 hitch pins and washers that secure the
cutting deck in place.
 Slide the deck out from under the mower.
 Reverse the process to reattach the cutting deck to the
mower.

DANGER:
Only use replacement blades and nuts authorized by
the manufacturer of your riding mower. Use of blades
and nuts not authorized is hazardous and may result in
serious personal injury or damage to your riding mower.
 Make sure the blade is not engaged.
 Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking
brake.
 Raise the height of the cutting deck to its highest position
to allow access to blades.
NOTE: If necessary, raise the mower by placing on a lift
or using a jack and jack stands, or remove the cutting

WARNING:
If raising the mower to access the blades, make sure the
mower is properly secured and the parking brake is set
before proceeding. Failure to properly secure the mower
could cause it to fall, resulting in possible death or seri-
ous personal injury.
 Wedge a block of wood between the blade and mower
deck to prevent the blade from turning.
 Loosen the blade nut by turning it counterclockwise (as
viewed from bottom of mower) using a 15 mm wrench
or socket (not provided).
 Remove the blade nut, spring washer, and blade.
 Place the new blade on the shaft against the correspond-
ing blade posts. Ensure blade is properly seated with
shaft going through center blade hole and the two blade
posts inserted into their respective holes on the blade.
Make sure it is installed with the curved ends pointing up
toward the mower deck and not down toward the ground.
When seated properly, the blade should be flat against
the blade posts.
 Replace the spring washer.
NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact
order in which they were removed.
 Thread the blade nut on the shaft and finger tighten.
 Torque the blade nut down clockwise using a torque
wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is properly
tightened. The recommended torque for the blade nut is
600 – 650 in. lbs.
WARNING:
Ensure blade is properly seated and the blade nut is
tightened to the torque specifications above. Failure to
properly attach the blade could cause it to come loose
and result in possible serious personal injury.
 Repeat with second blade.
