Operation Manual

BEFORE OPERATION

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% full. Also,

the bag is easier to empty when not packed full.

Inspection

Inspect the grass bag before use. Check for holes, tears, and

excessive wear. The grass bag does wear during normal use, and will

eventually require replacement (page 31).

Installation

1. Raise the rear discharge guard [1],

grasp the grass bag handle [2] and

hook the grass bag frame onto the

mower deck as shown.

2. Release the rear discharge guard

to secure the grass bag in place.

Removal

1. Raise the rear discharge guard,

grasp the grass bag handle and

remove the grass bag.

2. Release the rear discharge guard.

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

grass bag through the handlebars, or remove it from the rear of the

mower below the handlebar.
