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 the operator or
bystanders and result in serious personal injury or
death.
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 before
bagging the clippings; refer to Removing the Side-discharge
Chute (page 13). 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 12).
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
