Recycling the Clippings
Your machine comes from the factory ready to recycle the grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the machine, remove it before recycling the clippings. Refer to Removing the Grass Bag
(page 19) .
Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf clippings from the lawn.
WARNING
A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown toward you
or bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged, install a new the manufacturer replacement
bag.
WARNING
The blades are sharp; contacting the blades can result in serious personal injury.
Shut off the machine and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
