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 small stones and other
similar debris to be thrown at you or in the direction
of bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury
or death to you or to bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,
install a new Toro replacement bag.
If the side-discharge chute is on the machine, remove it;
refer to Removing the Side-discharge Chute (page 10) before

The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
