GET THE MOWER READY

Grass Bag

A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the
bag, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag
before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging
performance will diminish after the bag becomes about 90% filled.
Also, the bag is easier to empty when it is not packed full.

Inspection

Inspect the grass bag for tears, holes, and excessive wear. The grass
bag wears during normal use and will eventually require replacement.
Grass bag replacement is explained on page 34.

Installation

1. Raise the discharge guard

and hook the grass bag onto
the mower deck as shown.

2. Release the discharge guard

to secure the grass bag.

Removal

1. Raise the discharge guard,

grasp the grass bag handle
and remove the grass bag.

2. Release the discharge guard.

3. When the grass bag is clear of the discharge guard, you can lift it

through the handlebar opening, or you can remove it to the rear of
the mower below the handlebar.
