EMPTYING YOUR GRASS BAG
Holding the grass bag by both the rear handle and the lower handle, lift it straight up. The chute door will move
the rope out of the way of the bag. Remove the bag from the bagging adaptor on the mower. While holding the
lower handle lift up the rear section of the grass bag as shown in Figure 9. The bag will open and the grass
clippings will fall out. See Figure 9. When replacing your grass bag be sure the top of the bag rests on the wire
support between the handles.
