Toro 74432 Operator's Manual page 21

Emptying the Collection System
Once the collection bag fills with enough grass
to cover one or both of the sensors and break
the infrared beam a beeping alarm will sound to
alert the operator. The alarm shuts off once the
blade control switch is turned Off. If one or both
sensors are unplugged the mower blades will not
engage.
The machine is equipped with an alarm that
sounds to notify the operator the collection bag
is full.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade control switch and move the motion
control levers to the brake position.
2. Move the throttle to Slow.
3. Raise the collection bag by extending the DFS
lever and then pulling down (Figure 16).

4. Lower the collection bag and release the DFS
lever.
In the event that the collection bag alarm goes off
and the bag is less than full, the sensors should be
cleared of any clippings or debris that be blocking
the beam. Raise the collection bag and wipe off
the faces of the sensors with a soft cloth.
Important: You can wash the machine with
mild detergent and water. Do not pressure
wash the machine. Avoid excessive use of
water, especially near the control panel,
engine, hydraulic pumps, and motors.

Collection Bag
The collection bag is retained in the engine cover
by seating the lever side pin into a holed bracket
in the right hand side of the engine cover. To
remove, raise the bag up and first lift the pin in the
open notch up and away from the cover. Then
slide the lever side pin out the bracket until the
bag is clear of the machine. When installing, seat
this side first and then place the opposing pin in
the open notch in the engine cover. Allow the bag
to swing down, into place.
