Collecting Grass
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and
leaf clippings from the lawn.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before bagging the clippings.
The cutterblade is sharp; contacting the
cutterblade can result in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operating position.
Installing the Grass Bag
1. Remove the mulch plug (Figure 29).

rope when you pull the recoil start handle.
3. Insert the grass bag handle into the grooves at the
top of the mower (Figure 31).
Important: The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from starting the mower unless
you first install the grass bag securely on the
mower.
