Bagging The Clippings - Toro 22291 Operator's Manual

1. Rear-discharge plug
WARNING
Operating the machine to recycle lawn clippings
without the plug in place allows objects to be
thrown in your direction or in the direction of
bystanders. Also, contact with the blades could
occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause
serious injury or death.
Ensure that the rear-discharge plug is in place
before you recycle the clippings. Never engage the
blades without either the rear-discharge plug or the
grass bag installed on the machine.

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 toward you or
bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,
install a new Toro replacement bag.
WARNING
The blades are sharp; contacting the blades can
result in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
