Mowing with the Grass Bag
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other
similar debris to be thrown in the operator’s or
bystander’s direction.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects can result serious personal injury or
death to the operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged, install
a new Exmark replacement bag.
Cut the grass until the bag is full
NOTE: Do not overfill the bag.
Removing the Grass Bag
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Raise the discharge door handle and move it forward to engage the pin with
the catch (Fig. 17).
3. Grasp the handles at the front and the rear of the bag and lift the bag off the
lawn mower.
4. Gradually tip the bag forward to empty the clippings.
5. To install the bag, refer to the Installing the Grass Bag on page 18.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
If the discharge door does not close completely, the
lawn mower could throw objects.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects can result serious personal injury or
death to the operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
If you cannot close the door because the grass
clippings clog the discharge area, stop the engine and
gently move the discharge door handle back and forth
until you can close the door completely. If you still
cannot close the door, remove the obstruction with a
stick, not your hand.
