For recycling the grass and leaf clippings, press the button
on the lever and move the lever rearward until the button
on the lever pops up.
Important: For proper operation, remove any grass
clippings and debris from the bag-on-demand door
and the surrounding opening (Figure 21) before you
move the bag-on-demand lever from one position
to another.
WARNING
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can
result in serious personal injury. Also, an open
rear discharge area could allow small stones and
other similar debris to be thrown toward the
operator or a bystander, and result in serious
personal injury or death.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop before cleaning the bag-on-demand door
and the surrounding opening.
