Checking the Blade Brake
Clutch
Check the blade control bar before each use to
ensure that the blade brake clutch (BBC) system is
operating properly.
Not Using the Grass Bag
1. Move the mower onto a paved surface in a
non-windy area.
2. Set all 4 wheels to the (3-inch or 76 mm) cut
setting.

4. Place the newspaper ball about 5 inches (13 cm)
in front of the mower.
5. Start the engine.
6. Engage the blade.
7. Release the blade control bar.
8. Immediately push the mower over the newspaper
ball.
9. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
10. Go to the front of the mower and check the
newspaper ball.
Note: If the newspaper ball did not go under the
mower, repeat steps 4 through 10.
11. If the newspaper is unravelled or shredded, the
blade did not stop properly, which could result in an
unsafe operating condition. Contact an Authorized
Service Dealer.
Using the Grass Bag
You can use the grass bag to perform an additional
test to check the BBC mechanism.
1. Install the empty grass bag on the mower.
2. Start the engine.
3. Engage the blade.
Note: The bag should begin to inflate, indicating
that the blade is engaged and rotating.
4. Release the blade control bar.
Note: If the bag does not immediately deflate, the
blade is still rotating. The BBC mechanism may be
deteriorating and, if ignored, could result in an unsafe
operating condition. Have the mower inspected and
serviced by an Authorized Service Dealer.
5. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
Mulching the Clippings
Your mower comes from the factory ready to mulch
the grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the mower, remove it (refer to
Removing the Grass Bag on page 10) before
mulching the clippings. If the side discharge chute is
on the mower, remove it and lock the side discharge
door (refer to Removing the Side Discharge Chute on
page 11) before mulching the clippings.
Important : Ensure that
the mulch plug (A) is
locked in place at both
the top and the bottom
before you mulch the
clippings.

Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass
and leaf clippings from 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 on page 11) before bagging
the clippings.
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.
