Make sure the leaf bag dump rope is secured to the riding mower during use but does not interfere with the operation of the mower. Additionally, make sure the leaf bag dump rope is not in a position to become entangled in the wheels or brushes of the sweeper. Failure to safely secure the rope during use can damage the sweeper or cause you to lose control of the mower.
