Side-Discharging The Clippings - Toro 20381 Operator's Manual

Side-discharging the Clippings

Use the side discharge for cutting very tall grass.
If the bag is on the mower, remove it and insert the rear
discharge plug (refer to Removing the Grass Bag) before
side-discharging the clippings.
Important: Ensure that the rear discharge plug
is locked in place. To lock the plug: Raise the
discharge deflector (Figure 26), firmly push the
plug in until it snaps into place behind the tabs, and
rotate the lever on the plug to the left (Figure 27).
