To remove the plug, move the discharge door
handle rearwards while at the same time lift up
the spring clip on the bottom of the plug. When
the plug is unlocked, pull it out of the discharge
tunnel.

discharge tunnel plug. This may make
plug removal difficult. Clean plug
thoroughly after each use. Refer to
Cleaning Mower, page 14.
Using Grass Bag

bagging extra long grass, lush grass or leaves.

4.
Pull discharge door handle forward until pin
clears catch and move handle rearward until pin
locks in bag notch (Fig. 15). Discharge door in
mower housing is now open.

•
Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury or death to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•
Thrown objects may result if discharge
door does not close completely.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•

personal injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

grass clippings clog discharge area, stop
engine and gently move discharge door
handle back and forth until door can be
closed completely. If door still cannot be
closed, remove obstruction with a stick, not
your hand.

moving parts to stop. Raise discharge door
handle and move it forward to engage the
locking pin with the catch (Fig. 14). Grasp
handles at front and rear of bag and lift bag off
