• Mowing with the Grass Bag

WARNING

A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown in the operator’s or bystander’s direction. Thrown objects can result in serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders.

Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged, install a new Exmark replacement bag.

Cut the grass until the bag is full.

Note: Do Not overfill the bag.

•Removing the Grass Bag

1.Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2.Raise the rear discharge door and grasp the handle on the bag.

3.Lift the bag off of the lawn mower and lower the rear discharge door.

4.Gradually tip the bag forward to empty the clippings.

5.To install the bag, refer to the section on Installing the Grass Bag.

DANGER

If the discharge door does not close completely, the lawn mower could throw objects. Thrown objects can result in serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders.

•Never open the door to the discharge opening when the engine is running.

•If you cannot close the door because the grass clippings clog the discharge area, stop the engine and gently move the discharge door handle back and forth until you can close the door completely. If you still cannot close the door, remove the obstruction with a stick, not your hand.
