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.
Cut the grass until the bag is full.
Important
Do not overfill the bag.

Danger
If the rear door does not close completely, the lawn
mower could throw objects, causing serious
personal injury or death.
If you cannot close the rear door because the grass
clippings clog the discharge area, stop the engine,
wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the
grass clippings (with a stick, not your hand) until
the rear door closes completely.
2. Open the rear door (Fig. 1).
3. Hold the spring-loaded rear door up to prevent it from
closing while you remove the grass bag.
4. Lift the grass bag frame pins off the hooks and out of
the opening as shown in Figure 18.

Installing the Recycler Plug

2. Open the rear door (Fig. 1).

Rear Discharge

Occasionally, you may need to cut the lawn without the
grass bag or the recycler plug when the grass is too long for
bagging.
To use the rear discharge feature, remove the recycler plug
or the grass bag (refer to Removing the Grass Bag on
page 12), and close the rear door.
