5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
GRASS BAG
Check that the grass bag is in good
condition and not clogged.
A clogged grass bag will not collect
grass efficiently. When the bag needs
cleaning, wash it with a garden hose,
and allow it to dry thoroughly before
use; a wet bag will clog quickly.
The grass bag wears during normal
use and will eventually require
replacement If you operate the mower
with a damaged or worn out bag,
objects picked up by the blade may be
thrown through the bag material.
B
Objects thrown through
a worn or damaged grass bag may
cause serious injury. Install a new
grass bag when required.
OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
If you have the hard-shell grass catcher, or the side-discharge chute (page 141,
check those attachments to be sure they are in good condition. Operating the
mower with a damaged attachment will increase risk of injury from objects
thrown by the blade
m
Objects thrown by the blade may cause serious
injury.
Replace
damaged attachments before using the mower.
Check that the screws are tight in the hard-shell grass catcher, and that the
screen at the back of the unit is not clogged. The screen must be cleaned
occasionally to maintain grass-bagging efficiency.
