Mulching the Clippings
Your machine comes from the factory ready to mulch the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the machine, remove it before mulching
the clippings. Refer to Removing the Grass Bag (page 11).
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 at you or in the direction
of bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury
or death to you or to bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,
install a new Lawn-Boy replacement bag.
WARNING
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.
