Recycling the Clippings

Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before recycling the clippings.
Important: Ensure that the rear discharge plug
is locked in place. To lock the plug: Raise the
discharge deflector (Figure 24), firmly push the
plug in until it snaps into place behind the tabs, and
rotate the lever on the plug to the left (Figure 25).

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 debris to be thrown
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.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before bagging the clippings.
