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 and result in serious personal
injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,
install a new Toro replacement bag.
Removing the Grass Bag
1.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2.
Raise the discharge door handle and move it forward
to engage the pin with the catch (Figure 19).
3.
Grasp the handles at the front and the rear of the bag
and lift the bag off the mower.
4.
Gradually tip the bag forward to empty the clippings.
5.
To install the bag, refer to Installing the Grass Bag.
DANGER
If the discharge door does not close completely,
the mower could throw objects, causing serious
personal injury or death.
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.
DANGER
The mower can throw grass clippings and other
objects through an open discharge tunnel. Objects
thrown with enough force could cause serious
personal injury or death to the operator or bystander.
Never open the door on the discharge tunnel when
the engine is running.
Operating Tips
General Tips
•
Review the safety instructions and read this manual
carefully before operating the mower.
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and other
debris that the blade could hit and throw.
•
Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from
the area of operation.
•
Avoid striking trees, walls, curbs, or other solid objects.
Never deliberately mow over any object.
•
If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from
the spark plug, and examine the mower for damage.
•
Maintain a
sharp blade
throughout the cutting season.
Periodically file down nicks on the blade.
•
Replace the blade when necessary with an original Toro
replacement blade.
•
Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend
to clump on the yard and can cause the mower to plug
or the engine to stall.
WARNING
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if
you slip and contact the blade.
Mow only in dry conditions.
