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. To see if the
grass bag is full, release the blade control lock
lever and wait for the blade to stop. Feel the bag to
determine whether the bag needs to be emptied.
Note:
Do Not
overfill the bag.
•
Removing the Grass Bag
1.
Release the blade control lock lever and wait
for the blade and 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 rear 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 rear
discharge opening when the blades are
still moving.
•
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.
Using the Mulch Plug
Occasionally you may wish to use the mulch plug to
mulch the grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
•
Installing the Mulch Plug:
1.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
2.
If the grass bag is on the mower, remove it
(refer to Removing the Grass Bag). If the side
discharge deflector is on, remove it and lower
the side discharge door (refer to Using the
Side Discharge Deflector).
3.
Raise the rear discharge door and insert the
mulch plug into the discharge opening. The
plug will snap into the mower housing.

Removing the Mulch Plug:
Note:
When grass is thick and lush, clippings
may collect on and around the discharge tunnel
plug. This may make it difficult to remove the
plug. Clean the plug thoroughly after each use.
1.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
2.
Raise the rear discharge door and pull the
mulch plug out of the discharge tunnel.
3.
Lower the discharge door.
Using the Side Discharge Deflector
Use the side discharge for cutting very tall grass.
