Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, release the blade control bar.
Note:
Remove the ignition key when you leave the mower
{models 20074 and 20074A only).
Important: When you release the blade control
bar, both the engine and blade should stop within 3
seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using your
mower immediately and contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.
Recycling the Clippings
Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle 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) before recycling 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) before recycling the clippings.
Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf
clippings from the lawn.
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 mower, remove it and
lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the Side
Discharge Chute) before bagging the clippings.
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.
Installing the Grass Bag
1. Raise and hold up the rear door {Figure 18).
