DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Thrown objects may result if the discharge
door does not close completely.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
If the discharge door cannot be closed because
grass clippings clog the discharge area, stop the
engine and gently move the discharge door
handle back and forth until the door can be
closed completely. If door still cannot be closed,
remove the obstruction with a stick, not your
hand.
3. Fit the bag door opening over the discharge tunnel
opening as shown in Figure 35.
Note: The bag door latch should straddle the door
handle, and the bag rod hook should be in front of the
handle bracket.
4. Set the rear of the bag frame onto the lower handle.
5. Pull the handle rearward until the handle latch locks
into the notch in the bag door latch (Fig. 36).
