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 46.
Installation
1. Raise the discharge guard,
Remove the mulching plug if
it is installed. 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.
