Grass Bag
A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the
bag, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag
before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging
performance will diminish after the bag becomes about 90% filled.
Also, the bag is easier to empty when it is not packed full.
The grass bag can be left on the mower during mowing, then
depending on conditions, certain areas may require full mulching
where as other areas may require bagging. By adjusting the Clip
Director knob, various mowing conditions can be met.
Inspection
During normal use, the grass bag material is subject to deterioration
and wear.
NOTICE
Frequently inspect the grass bag for tears, holes, and excessive wear.
Check for necessary replacement. Make sure the new bag meets the
original specifications.

Cutting Height Adjustment
Each wheel of the mower
can be adjusted to one of
seven settings. The cutting
height figures are
approximate. The actual
height of cut grass will vary
with lawn and soil conditions.
Move all four adjustment
levers to the same position.
To adjust cutting height, pull each adjustment lever toward the wheel,
and move it into another notch.
If you are not sure what cutting height to select, start with a high
setting and check the appearance of the lawn after mowing a small
area. Then readjust the cutting height if necessary.
