Air Cleaner Inspection
Make sure the air filter is clean and
in good condition. A dirty air filter
will restrict air flow to the
carburetor, reducing engine
performance. Refer to page 35 for
air cleaner service.
Grass Bag (HRT216)
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% filled. 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 39).
Installation
1.
Raise the rear door and remove
the mulching plug. Hook the grass
bag frame onto the mower deck as
shown.
2.
Release the rear door to secure
the grass bag in place.
Removal
3. Raise the rear door, grasp the
grass bag handle and remove the
grass bag.
4. Release the rear door.
5. When the grass bag is clear of the
rear door, you can lift the grass bag through the handlebars, or
remove it from the rear of the
mower below the handlebar.
