5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
ATTACHMENTS
Side-Discharge Adapter (optional)
Check the side-discharge adapter to be
sure it is in good condition and
properly attached. Operating the
mower with a damaged or loose side-
discharge adapter will increase risk of
injury from objects thrown by the
blade. DISCHARGE
Grass Bag (optional)
Check that the grass bag is in good
condition and not clogged.
A clogged grass bag will not collect
grass efficiently. When the bag needs
cleaning, wash it with a garden hose,
and allow it to dry thoroughly before
use; a wet bag will clog quickly.
The grass bag wears during normal
use and will eventually need
replacement. If you operate the mower
with a damaged or worn out bag,
objects picked up by the blade may be
thrown through the bag material.
