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% full. Also,
the bag is easier to empty when not packed full.
Inspection
Inspect the grass bag before use. Check for holes, tears, and
excessive wear. The grass bag does wear during normal use, and will
eventually require replacement (page 29).
Installation
1. Raise the rear discharge guard
and remove the mulching plug.
Hook the grass bag frame onto
the mower deck as shown.
2. Release the rear discharge
guard to secure the grass bag in
place.
Removal
1. Raise the rear discharge guard,
grasp the grass bag handle and
remove the grass bag.
2. Release the rear discharge guard.
3. When the grass bag is clear of the rear discharge, you can lift the
grass bag through the handlebars, or remove it from the rear of the
mower below the handlebar.
