2.When the engine stops, remove the ignition key when you leave the mower.
Important: When you release the blade control bar, both the engine and blade should stop within 3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using your mower immediately and contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Recycling the Clippings
Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
Note: The grass bag may remain on the mower while you are recycling the clippings.
To recycle the clippings, move the Recycling/bagging lever to the recycling mode (Figure 17).
Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf clippings from the lawn.
A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown in the operator’s or bystander’s direction and result in serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged, install a new Hayter replacement bag.
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
To bag the grass clippings, install the grass bag (refer to Installing the Grass Bag) and move the Recycling/bagging lever to the bagging mode (Figure 17).
Installing the Grass Bag
Raise and hold up the rear door, install the bag, and lower the rear door (Figure 18).
