Recycling the Clippings
Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it and
lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the Side
Discharge Chute) before recycling the clippings.
Important:
Ensure that the rear discharge plug is in
place before you recycle the clippings (Figure 33).
Figure 33
Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf
clippings from the lawn.
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.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it and
lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the Side
Discharge Chute) before bagging the clippings.
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
Installing the Grass Bag
1. Raise and hold up the rear door (Figure 34).
Figure 34
2. Remove the rear discharge plug (Figure 34).
