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 in the operator's or
bystander's direction and result in serious personal
injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,
install a new Toro replacement bag.
If the side-discharge chute is on the machine, remove it;
refer to Removing the Side-discharge Chute (page 13) before
bagging the clippings. If the bag-on-demand lever is in the
recycling position, move it to the bagging position; refer to
Operating the Bag-on-Demand Lever (page 11).
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.
